Goodbye Netflix.
Yes. Everything else would be even worse than this.

Won't affect me, I don't need more than one simultaneous stream. Annoys me that I have to pay for four streams to get 4K streaming. This won't help that of course, but I wish they had a slightly cheaper single 4K stream option.
Same. I love the convenience of Netflix, but I already feel like I'm paying too much for what I've got.
Premium is staying the same except for the number of simultaneous streams, it looks like.
Never gonna be happy about a price hike but I pay like £11 a month for the 4K package and feel like I more than get my money's worth.
If this means we get more auteurs making Netflix Originals I'm not that mad.

Looks like they're testing different configurations in different territories. The German one has the same number of streams, but no HDR.
An extra €6 a month for HDR?In Germany they're also testing a €19.99 ($23) 'Ultra' option that exclusively includes HDR while not limiting the amount of streams on Premium:
Good luck with that.
In fact good luck with essentially putting price rises on everything by downgrading existing subscriptions too.
But that would be for new subscribers, right? They cannot change current subscriptions to remove features and add it them to more expensive tiers. Many countries have laws against it.
Damn, maybe that's happening in Sweden too then. They can fuck off in that case. I'm not paying more than I am now.
If this happens I'm out. They don't produce enough content I'm interested in to warrant that increase, and their selection of non-original movies and shows has been going to shit for years.
This reminds me of Sky charging more for HD and 4K channels.
£6 more a month just for HDR? Fuck off.

Disgusting. They want to hold HDR hostage behind a 6€ extra paywall? Fuck that.In Germany they're also testing a €19.99 ($23) 'Ultra' option that exclusively includes HDR while not limiting the amount of streams on Premium:
This makes me more inclined to just share an account in the future. They would lose money that way, and honestly: fuck them.
Compare that to Amazon Prime, what a joke.
Last time they let old subscribers stay on the current plan for i think a year before they were forced to pay more or downgrade.
That's rough. I mean the current device one would suck but it wouldn't matter too much to me specifically. If the HDR thing came to the US people would flip.
True, but that's Switzerland, the only way to tell the homeless from the average swiss is by looking wherether they have a decent Patek or a lowly Rolex. They still have a bar of gold somewhere to wipe their tears away if they're ever sad about that.

Urgh since when? Yesterday I still got my Dolby Atmos so I guess they haven't changed it yet.
Price hikes always suck, especially when there seems to be no new benefits, but Netflix is still a good value at that price, so I can't complain too much. I split a sub with my roommate anyway.
But the subscription is month by month. So yeah, they probably can't remove stuff in the middle of your subscription month, but they sure can tell you that for the next month you can either pay more, lose features, or unsubscribe. It would be different if you had already paid for a year upfront.

20€?
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahaha
-> Cancelled. They have completely lost their minds.
Edit: Tbh, I don't really care about being able to watch multiple streams at the same time. But locking 4K HDR behind their most expensive subscription is just too much, sorry.
"Hey see this Netflix plan you like? We're making it way worse but charging you the same. Want the same features you enjoyed? Better pony up for a higher tier plan now."
Fuck off netflix.
Fuck off netflix.
I canceled Netflix two months ago when I realized I was spending more time looking for things to watch than watching things.
I watch less TV and use Amazon prime and YouTube when I feel the need to put something on. My video game and reading time has significantly increased too.
