We have Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and I think Discovery. Prime of course comes with the shipping subscription since we purchase a fair amount from there. But Netflix, Hulu+ Live, and Discovery combined are less than one going out for a decent dinner which we do a few times a month. So the $1.50/month price increase is like over the course of the year isn't even a 12-pack of Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale. |

The problem with that logic is all of the streaming services are doing it. Every single streaming platform is housing content with "BLM/trans/etc." elements and largely to the same degree. Is every streaming platform experiencing material attrition in its subscriber base? No, no they are not.

It’s not really about the 2 bucks in isolation. It’s about the 2 bucks on top of all the other increases and the relative value of the subscription relative to time watching it and other options out there. Combined with the ability to cancel and re-subscribe to watch their content periodically, what is the point of paying monthly if we aren’t watching it all that much? Not sure why going to dinner is a relevant comparison. I think cost of other TV options is most relevant. I pay 2 grand for football season tickets. Just because it’s entertainment doesn’t make it relevant to cost of TV subscriptions.

Not sure I follow the point. [Paraphrasing] You said people cancelled because of woke programming. All I’m saying is it works both ways. Become “less sensitive” to those seeking such programming and different people will cancel. I know some people cancelled because they aired Chappelle, even though I found his special funny as hell.

People are cancelling for all kinds of reasons. I still have Netflix because it suits me, I don't watch all the Woke Social Justice programs and quickly shut them down when they go down that road regardless of the provider. If you don't like what's on, change the channel has been my view always. I get why folks take a stand against some providers if they get sick of it. I cancelled Disney when they fired Gina Carano. My view was that if they are going to fire her for a political view then I'm going to cancel the service. I would've cancelled Netflix if they had sided with the staff who wanted Chappelle cancelled. Just my two cents though.
