You can’t hear me but I just released a disappointed sigh. Netflix is reportedly set to raise its prices yet again.
Streaming services just don’t know when to stop, do they? It feels as if series cancellations are more commonplace than ever, content is being removed in order to save money, our ad-free experiences are becoming ad-filled experiences and all of this for, checks notes, a higher price? We’ve been through price rises. We’ve been through the greatpassword sharing crackdown, which ended up with most people adding yet another fee on top of their usual subscription. At some point, we’ve got to hit the ceiling of just how high prices can rise, surely?
Netflix’sAvatar: The Last Airbenderhas recently been released to a mixed response.

That’s more than double in the space of just four years. I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t feel as if I’m getting double the amount of content compared to what was available in 2020. I recently received this email from Disney Plus myself and while at first I brushed it off as a mild annoyance - after all, annual streaming rises have become the norm - I then found myself asking the question of: How far can this go?
I’d like to say we’ll surely hit a peak soon, that prices cannot keep justifiably rising, but I fear we passed that mark a while ago. Who knows when this will end.
