Egg prices are one thing, but when they mess with our streaming costs, THAT’S when we riot. (???)
And the price of Netflix is going up for the first time since October of 2023. Even the ad-supported plan is being hiked, from $6.99 to $7.99.
The standard ad-free tier is jumping by $2.50, from $15.49 to $17.99. And the premium plan is going from $22.99 to 24.99.
The cost of adding an extra member to a primary account is going up too, from $7.99 to $8.99.
Netflix says, quote, “As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix.”
It’s not clear when the prices will go up, but it’s worth noting that Netflix also announced its biggest-ever jump in subscribers, and a quarterly revenue that reached $10 billion for the first time in its history.
(But yeah, they need two more bucks from you. Also, do they DESERVE more money after the debacle that was the Jake Paul / Mike Tyson fight?)
(They actually had the gall to say that it was one of the reasons they’ve been so successful lately . . . without mentioning the fact that it was a complete cluster . . . well, you know.)
