It's a hassle, but I try to make a habit of Googling "Leaving [service name] in [month/year]" for all the services I subscribe to at the beginning of each month. Prime unfortunately doesn't publish what's leaving like most other services do, so someone has taken it upon themselves to manually track and post upcoming departures (and renewals).
I've become very gun shy about starting a series on a streaming service that has more than three seasons (especially a 20+ episode per season show) in the can. I got burned when a bunch of FX content (Justified!) was pulled from Prime and made exclusive to Hulu.
More than I expected ....Did you see all of Kaley if you know what I mean?
I've only seen episode 1, wonder whats to come ?
I've only seen 1 Episode, not 1 Season !
I'm just waiting till I have time (not working) to sub HBOMAX for a month and watch it.
Due to the Buckeyes winning last night, I have at least 3 more weeks to work.
I am glad that Kaley is showing range in this show. She is far from Penney.
I Love what I'm seeing from her so far ....
.I enjoyed her as Penny and like her even more now.
I got Mrs. Foxbat caught up in “The Flight Attendant” and at one point we were like “where is this going next?” as plot complications kept popping up. I had to skip the opening credits, though, because the rabbits were too much and there’s never a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch around when you need it.
Back on topic, we visited my in-laws who had Netflix when it was still DVDs via the Mail. My Mother-in-Law was reviewing all their monthly services and couldn’t remember the last time they had watched a movie. Logging into their account showed it was mid 2018. So at her request, I helped her cancel their Netflix account. I guess they have until the 28th to watch “Queens Gambit”, or “The Crown”.

I read where Netflix has 93 million subscribers world wide. At $2 price increase per sub, that is a lot of money going into some ones pocket. That is 186 million dollars per month or 2 billion 232 million dollars per year. How can they justify that?

Netflix has 203 million subscribers worldwide, Disney+ is closer to that 93 million (94 million)

Netflix surpasses 200 million subscribers, but has more competition than ever in 2021
Netflix just passed another major milestone as the company eyes new competition.

I am not a finance expert, but Netflix was profitable in 2020, but has billions in debt. It looks like they are on the verge of being reliably profitable year after year, so they can begin to pay down their debt or do stock buy-backs. A regular price increase seems like it will be a thing with Netflix for some time to come. We watch it enough that it isn't currently a big deal. We'd be more likely to cut other platforms first if we wanted to save money, like CBS AA, Hulu, or Disney+.
Did anybody think this wouldn't happen eventually? We all knew "cheap streaming" wouldn't last forever.
Depends on how you do it. Even with all the streaming services I have, I am still paying less than when I had a full Dish setup with the AT250 -- not much less, but less. The big difference is I have way more to watch that I actually want to watch, and most of the content we watch is not on cable/satellite anyway. If most of what you want to watch is on cable/satellite, then I'd just stick with those for now.
The question becomes, where is the painpoint with Netflix? $20? $25? Would people pay $30? I certainly wouldn't.

If you compare Apples to Apples, say Dish to You Tube TV, it is still cheaper, if you want Netflix or Disney+, it adds to the bill no matter if you have a Traditional Service or a Live TV service, the plus is if I add those services to YTTV, my monthly bill is still cheaper then Dish alone with DVR fee, extra box fees, etc.
