I barely watch anything any more on Netflix streaming. When I do try something new -- especially one of their "Netflix originals" -- I increasingly feel I am being fed the same set of tropes. (E.g. There's only so much dystopia I can take. Especially when it recycles the same plot and dialog points.)

This price bump may be it, for me. I'm too inclined to just keep on keeping on. I don't do "resolutions", but this year, one intention is to stop that.

Besides, I increasingly feel like I'm funding, with my subscriptions, the very people -- and their lawyers -- who keep making things worse and worse.

(Reading the recent reporting that Netflix software engineers average 300K a year hasn't really helped my attitude, either. So, THAT's what I'm paying for... (?) )

Business media has been saying that Netflix's content acquisition costs are or shortly will be in the neighborhood of $10 billion per year. You're paying a lot more for the content than for the software engineers.
