Smart, those are all places that have lower subscribers, should be good gains since the lower prices should attract new subs.

Not necessarily. Different countries have different value propositions due to competition, different content being available and market factors like cost of living, average wages, viewing habits and other local tendencies.

No price cuts for Canada as well!

The first graphic is interesting showing the rising subscription rates. I've never had Hulu, didn't know that was the most expensive.

At the moment. They just had a price increase. I have the ad-free bundle with Disney+ for $20.

That is the price for commercial free.

Hulu at that price is not really worth it, but it allows you to bundle with Disney+ for $20, or with Disney+ and ESPN+ for $25, both Commercials Free.

IDK. We watch a lot of Hulu in my house. More than Disney or Max these days. If it wasn't free to me, I wouldn't subscribe to Max.

Another observation from that graphic, Apple TV+ is the cheapest but I think I get the most value from their programming.

I heard today that now that the Writers Strike is Over, Netflix plans on Increasing its costs.

They JUST raised prices, then raised them again if you want more people on the account ... now lets raise them again ... why not.

They JUST raised prices,

The last time was in January 2022, almost two years ago

then raised them again if you want more people on the account

That only affected those who were password sharing and lived at different locations, my price did not change.

... now lets raise them again ... why not.

DirecTV/Dish goes up every year, Comcast/Spectrum goes up twice in a year, yet you complain about a service that is every two years.

And at least it is providing new content, plus in 4K.

It is THE Most Expensive App out there, doing what they are.

What next, $29.99, then 34 ???

I pay by the year, you would think they would offer a discount for Annual subs, but I have yet to find any ....

$240 for something I may or may not use weekly is a lot.
I know I could go monthly, but I hate to have to log in and start up another sub everytime I want to look and see whats on ... thats why I get Annual subs when ever I can.

They Still won't take a Credit card for an Annual Sub, I have to go to a store and get a Gift Card to pay them.

It is THE Most Expensive App out there, doing what they are.

It is the same price as HBOMAX, but with 4 times the content.

What next, $29.99, then 34 ???

Do you complain this much about when DirecTV ups their price every year, with less and less content, it is the most expensive Live TV service.

I pay by the year, you would think they would offer a discount for Annual subs, but I have yet to find any ....

I am paid up until middle of next year, love using gift cards on the majority of services.

$240 for something I may or may not use weekly is a lot.

I use it a lot, expect to use it more when I drop Live TV in January.

Since it looks like no TV Season this year, glad I have it.

I know I could go monthly, but I hate to have to log in and start up another sub everytime I want to look and see whats on ... thats why I get Annual subs when ever I can.

I cannot keep track of doing something like that, if I had to pay real money instead of getting Gift Cards with my points, I properly would alternate services.

They never have, Hulu Bundle does not either.

I see your back to your contradictory ways, ,everything I say, you say is wrong or you have a Better way .

The Majority of us don't have the option to have Gift Cards pay for every thing.

You were incorrect. you posted they just had a price increase before the recent increase for those who password share, I looked it up and it was January 2022, almost two years ago.

The Majority of us don't have the option to have Gift Cards pay for every thing.

All you have to do is look into which Credit Card provides the best rewards for you.

Some provide better rewards for travel, mine do not, which is fine for me since I already live in weather paradise.

Like I pointed before, with my reward points, digital gift cards are the same price as buying in the store, but merchandise is way over priced.

For example, just put a new roof on my house, cost was $35,000, so I received $3500 in rewards.

So while I can get 35 $100 gift cards to Hulu, Netflix, etc, a ipad that you can get at a store for $400 cost $1500 in reward points.

So obviously, I use those points to get what saves me the most.

Yeah if they go up on Netflix any time soon and I will drop them. I barely even watch them anymore and I get the price of the standard pack in SD paid by T-Mobile. I only pay the difference between that and the HD pack. I don't pay for Ultra since I am not using it much any way.
