I would love to cancel it. I almost never watch it and there's nothing I do watch that I couldn't live without. Unfortunately, my mom does watch it constantly, and she'd just sign up for her own account if I got rid of mine, so in the interest of keeping her bills down, I'm kind of stuck. At least I got her to dump Hulu's outrageously overpriced live tv option, so I got that going for me.
All these services from Netflix to Uber are built on understandable foundations. They lose a ton of money in their first phase in order to gain subscribers but sooner or later start looking to turn profit out at least stop the bleeding.
I can already hear the outcry of surprised gamers when Microsoft cracks the whip on their Game Pass pricing, and there will be little to no alternative because they bought out most of the studios and publishers.
shrug.
Netflix's price structure hasn't been a concern for me for a couple of years...
