#2Tangent: As much as it feels like we just have “bundles” like the bad old cable days, I really enjoy getting to change streaming providers every 2-3 months. My wife and I just Hoover up whatever we’re interested in then move on. And in a year we’ve got that service back and we Hoover up the last year’s added content that looks good.
Lots of ways to measure it but when I think about how much I pay and what my experience is like, I’m doing far better than in the cable days. I’m much happier.

In seriousness, I think this is actually a neat strategy.

#4It just looks like the game is up. Every company is trying to raise prices and squeeze more, so that stock prices remain up.
If they could accept a lower stock price instead, they'd just be more stable, and retain loyalty on the other side of the recession curve.

It's the go-to strategy for us as well, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts this is the next target for some sort of crackdown

You’ll have to call Netflix to cancel and they’ll just pass you around the call Center until they hang up by accident.

More like, if you cancel, your account gets deleted for good, so you lose your profile with users, history, recommendations. You can pay x/month to pause your membership.

They should have stayed private then. If you're issuing stock you better make sure it goes up or you're paying dividends or nobody will buy it.

They will simply make monthly plans absurdly expensive unless you commit to a 1-year contract. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
