I have had the basic no ads plan for over a year. When I signed up Netflix informed me that if I should cancel basic no ads plan it would no longer be available, so they had a captive customer because I did not want to lose the low price. I just cannot understand why Netflix is making me choose another plan or cancel. They had a good paying customer, month after month. Now I will probably cancel for now, and restart with the higher priced option only when I see something that interests me and cancel at the end of that month. So in the long run, Netflix will loose income from me. Stupid idea Netflix! Your survey said almost 50% were going to cancel. So I am not alone in this. All I need is 1 screen and 720P is high enough definition for me. Like you folks, I cannot tolerate ads, so ad support plans are not an option for me.
We don't get the move either, especially when they could just move customers over to the ad-supported plan (since they earn more on that), and give customers the option to move up if they want.
Option 4 Dump Netflix They will continue to increase cost Increase ads Decrease new content As time goes on That’s what they all do I dumped them over 10 years ago and don’t miss them a bit
I have come to the conclusion that I hate Netflix. I hate the fact that on their ad supported plan all of their content is not available. That is bullshit. Because some of that content includes Netflix created content. And they say it’s because of licensing agreements. How can they have licensing issues with their own content? I would be willing to pay a dollar or two more a month and get 100% of their content on the ads supported plan. Second, they never offer any deals like Max and Hulu do. And the reason for that is probably they are not a big corporation like Disney or time warner. And they can’t afford to give any kind of a discount or special rate. I am perfectly happy with getting Hulu and/or Max when they have special prices.
You're not wrong and that's the main reason why we'll never choose the ad-supported plan with them. We would understand licensing issues if it were only for content they didn't create. However, as you know, that's just not the case.
Been a netflix customer since 2012. Original subscription was 4.99. To be forced into choosing an upgrade or downgrade/ ads or fees just really tipped the scale. I have held strong to my ideals and any subscription service that has implemented ads on a paid subscription gets the ax immediately.
I have ad support it’s not bad one at beginning maybe 1 or 2 more. The draw back is some shows are blocked not bad. I don’t usually watch everyday either! That’s all I can afford!
It's very tough because NF does have a ton a content. When sharing went down I subscribed to the cheaper plan so my wife could watch Vikings series...and then promptly found out it was locked on the cheap plan. I bumped up to standard. She binged, she loved it, it was worth it. But we also like many docu-series and such, many that I'll wager would be locked if not for the standard plan. I believe the amount of locked content is much more than a 'few' things. I'm sure it's many things. But if netflix viewing drops off here it will be dropped when needed. The battle for my dollar rests between Max and Netflix and when the half price deal ends next year for Max I'll probably drop it and keep netflix.
Last we read, it was several hundred titles that were locked in the ad-supported plan. As you know, Netflix is always adding/removing content so that number is likely going to vary. Relatively, it may not be a lot of the content but if you find a niche where numerous titles are locked then it can definitely get frustrating.
Got an email today stating had til Oct 2 before they would bump me down to the ad tier, will be canceling all together at the end of this month since I already paid for it (I don't watch it daily and only for certain series, so it's not worth it for me in the end to actually keep it)
I don't subscribe to Netflix very often, but when I do I get the standard w/o adds because it's HD, and like you, I HATE ADDS. HD resolution is fine for me and IMO 4k is overated.
Hi John the Netflix Premium has more value then it's given credit for it's maybe way too pricey however even though many shows aren't in 4k per as they are offered in Dolby Atmos and HDR so the video quality is amazing and the spatial audio really adds to to if you do premium then drop to Full HD you will not be happy with the quality
I cancelled Netflix last year when the quality of the movies they were showing went down. Also putting restrictions on customers like the ads you are discussing. So for me? There are other choices out there.
for the amount of garbage Netflix put out, you might as well just cancel the subscription and save up to buy that ONE tv show that matters each year when Bluray is out
I have Netflix since 90S the mailing days, if I cancel any streaming services NEVER be Netflix, pops out new contents every few days none of them can even fart of Netflix That's why others piled up together as a bundle now so not going to end up bankruptcy well worth whatever charge they charge worth every penny ...Best of The Best Piss on the rest🙏🤙🤘
The adds are light on Netflix. We don't mind ads.
That they are. Unfortunately, the ad-supported plan doesn't include all of their content. That's a deal-breaker for us.

Option 4
Dump Netflix
They will continue to increase cost
Increase ads
Decrease new content
As time goes on
That’s what they all do
I dumped them over 10 years ago and don’t miss them a bit
I love netflix so nope not cancelling my netflix i use it a lot. I was already on standard anyway. I don't subscribe to cable tv or satellite.

I canceled my subscription, I only watched it once month if that . I found content was not that great anymore

We just did as well. It's changing on 9/19 for us.

@@spaceghost4474 I agree I saw MAX in regular 1080 for 8 months and looked fine no need for 4k.

That's a fair point. It's a bit expensive for our tastes, but if you want that 4k quality, when available, and the other features, it may be worth it.
I can't afford it either just making that point the value is there for those who have the means for top shelf
Nate Bagatze- his 2 specials are the only thing I watch on Netflix in the past few years- I cancelled.
We have the same plan and love it.
