So I have been a Netflix subscriber for a while now. Love the service, going to lie. But now they are jacking up the prices by $6. Now you may be saying, “That’s hardly anything!” And you would be right. But I’m going on principle here people, PRINCIPLE! Right now I’m paying about $12 a month for blurays included. Now they are going to bump that up to $18… pretty freakin messed up. Then there are others that are saying, “Blame it on the big evil movie corporations!!! They are raising their prices so Netflix has to as well!” That, my friends, is a big fat lie. Dave Pogue, Mr. New York Times man who writes about technology addressed this single point in one of his articles found here:

And guess what? It is NOT because of movie companies raising their prices. So what is the reason you may ask?? To be honest I can’t see it as anything else but greed and want of more money. They’ve already put most stores out of business like Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, and others. So they are getting close to a Monopoly so now they are going to raise their prices and why? BECAUSE THEY CAN. Well, screw them, this is going to happen September 1st and I’ll be getting rid of my account before then. Another weird thing is they told David Pogue that they are expecting people to cancel and they are ok with that… boggles my mind. Their forecaster people have decided they will be fine when the masses quit. Only time will tell if they are right but for me, they lost my business because they don’t deserve it anymore. Chau people, chau.
Oh and about having Netflix ads on my blog…. uhhh no comment (:
