Netflix raises prices as password boost fades (www.bbc.com)

Netflix is starting to raise prices in some countries as growth spurred by its crackdown on password sharing starts to fade.

The film and TV streaming giant said it had already lifted subscription fees in Japan and parts of Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa over the last month.

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.

In its latest results, Netflix announced that it had added 5.1 million subscribers between July and September - ahead of forecasts but the smallest gain in more than a year.

Netflix's content has gotten so much worse too. I don't think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I'm interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

I don't know about you but content has gotten better for me.

Ranma 1/2, Squid Games, Super Mario Bros Movie, new season of Arcane. I felt like every 1-2 months, there was always something interesting.

Also note that I don't pay for Netflix. I do own stock.

BUY MORE NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTIONS..

For added convenience, skip the VPN and get a seedbox. If you consider the cost savings in hardware you spend even less.

Any recommendations? Can you link jellyfin directly to a seedbox?

[–] wrekone@lemmyf.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Many seed boxes allow you to install Jellyfin and the Arr stack on the seedbox itself. Some even make installation a one click operation.
