Word on the street is that Netflix is once again raising its prices. For 4K top quality Netflix, folks are now looking at $22.99 per month. Is it just me or is that dangerously close to basic cable pricing? Include the other streaming services a person is likely to also subscribe to, then it is basic cable TV costs. We’ve cut the cord, but the money is still flowing out.
Fortunate for me, I don’t subscribe to Netflix. But I am not delusional to think that other streaming services - the ones I do subscribe to - won’t hike their monthly fees soon enough. Imitation is the sincerest form of making money. Remember a few months back when Netflix effectively banned password-sharing? It seems to be a surprise revenue increaser for the company. So of course Disney Plus has begun doing the same thing. Our neighbors up north in Canada will receive the initial brunt of the crackdown. It’s just a matter of time for us here in the States.
My friends who are sharing my account (would this be incriminating?) will have to find other ways to watch Disney programming. Legal or otherwise.
Prices for everything keep going up and up, way too rapidly. A good way to combat this, at least for McDonalds, is to use its app. The deals offered on the McDonalds app really blunts the hefty prices. Yesterday there was a buy-one-get-one-free deal on the double cheeseburger. Two sandwiches for less than five dollars is a win these days. Also, the more you use the app, the more points you earn towards free food.
Not to say you should make McDonalds a constant staple of your diet…
