If Streamers were smart, they’d lock pricing and change it for new signups.
Their problem is numbers retention. People would hesitate to cancel if their $8 plan would have to be 15/month or more to restart.
Moving everyone up, just pushes people to cancel, and they’ll be even more unlikely to come back if prices keep going up

That sounds like terrible economics when you have hundreds of millions of customers who will likely just accept it

Then you don’t understand why long term reliable customers are better than intermittent ones…
Which means you don’t know anything else about business, and are just going off vibes

I’m sure they tested it and found that enough customers would stay to make it profitable.
Consumers, especially Apple users, accept higher prices. It’s baffling to me but true.
In 2014, Netflix was $8/month. It’s now 12 years later and Netflix is $20/month.

It’s a numbers game. Are there so many? Why else would a company care?
