When they raised their price previously, and stopped the ability to share, I cancelled it. There comes a point when you realise you are not getting value for your money. Each person has their own threshold. I suspect, given the current economy, that many are deciding they prefer electricity to Netflix. I am one of them.

@lesleyboshell6778 7 месяцев назад

I cancelled my Netflix subscription for two reasons…the first was the amount of their subscribers money went into the Harkles pockets, which I emphatically objected to…the second was the monthly subscription cost. It started at £5.99 per month. It then increased annually until they were asking for £10.99 per month. This was also at the same time they had brought the deceitful faux royals on board. During the five years I was a loyal customer I received no offers or perks by way of thank you for your custom over the years, yet new customers were offered cheaper deals. In fact they dropped my family sharing deal from four to none. I would never return to unscrupulous Netflix now no matter what. Especially after their depiction of the Crown.

RU-vid has all sorts of music, not just modern music. If you want to listen to Beethoven, or Mozart, or listen to the Hollies, or the Carpenters, you can find their music on YT. I am into electronic dance music (which I am listening to right now), and YT is always recommending great EDM tracks to me, as I listen to it so much.

@nonyobisniss7928 7 месяцев назад

@@Locutus It's not quite that simple. You get harassed forever unless you give in to their intimidation and jump through their hoops which have no legal basis. And even then the harassment only abates for a year or two before they start it back up. It's beyond pathetic that a company is acting in this way. Imagine any other company acting in that way. As for needing a license for any sort of "live TV", that's what makes it very much like a tax. Why should anyone have to pay the BBC for the right to watch a channel that has nothing whatsoever to do with the BBC? More and more of us are quite willing to go without watching any form of live streaming, but to gate an entire technology behind a tax like this is regressive and unforgivable. Everyone who's ever worked at the BBC should be taxed 10% extra on their income (including pensions) for the rest of their lives until they've paid back the British public in full.

If you get that upset over a TVL letter, then something is wrong with you. If TVL come to your door, and you answer it, politely say I don't want to talk to you, goodbye and close the door. That's it, that simple. Unless they have a warrant, they can't do anything. The more you think about this, the more you're going to overthink and overexert yourself in panic. Don't let it bother you. Just ignore it. Watching live TV is not a Human Right, there are other forms of entertainment, for your entertainment. Watch DVDs, listen to the radio, watch streaming services, read the newspaper, etc. That's just such a ridiculous statement saying BBC employees should be made to pay extra on their taxes. It's as if BBC employees have committed crimes against Humanity, or the British people.... Imagine if I said people in your industry should be taxed an extra 10%, because I don't like the way they operate, because they impose a "tax" I don't like, even though I can easily avoid it....

I got Disney+ to be able to watch the new Star Wars content but to watch new Star Trek content I’d have to get Paramount+, I had Amazon Prime anyway so could watch Good Omens 2 but otherwise would have had to subscribe &c.

My personal opinion it is a pitty that films are in private companies. Even in those Netflix they do not have all the films the client wants with a precise film....only some of them. So one of the clients has to look all over these private companies to find a film. It is bad for the customer

@deadkennedy9140 7 месяцев назад

Streaming services use the wrong model for me. It's still the legacy sky/cable model of pay upfront for the majority of stuff to go unwatched. What would interest me and I think work better is a basic buy per view like YT films. Maybe get the first episode of a series free as a taster and then buy per episode or the whole series at a discount. It would possibly encourage front loading of production quality but the market could correct that out.

Only thing we have Netflix for these days is for the younger nieces to watch things on and they don’t seem to care for the ads. However for pretty much everything else, RU-vid, Disney+ and occasionally Amazon prime are the ones we have with only Disney and Amazon paid for (one by me, the other by my wife). Cheapest Netflix level for now, but unlikely to be with us for long as the nieces grow up and start watching other things.

I quit Netflix back in 2019, I really struggled to find any decent movies/TV series. I believe they are not worth it. I find great movies, etc, on utube. Well, that's my story. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs

I will be paying £7-99, because I have the basic package. That's slightly more than half cost of the TV Licence, which I don't pay.

@stephaniewhite9526 7 месяцев назад

Perhaps I've misunderstood but I dont think the £17.99 package a fair comparison as thats the ultimate pack for the mega picture quality The standard package without ads is only £7.99 which (whilst a rise of £)1 is still cheaper than Amazon Prime & Disney.

Daniel, a quick question of law. My 16 year old daughter has an issue at her small job concerning payslips. I won't go into detail but looking at the 1991 Payment of Wages Act Section 4, I was wondering if there was a distinction between 'shall give' i.e. the employer posts, sends or delivers as opposed to collected i.e. employee has to go to and find said payslip. It's a long story but it's just this little distinction that I would appreciate some clarity over. In advance, thank you.

@jobbiejew 7 месяцев назад

Netflix is a personal preference whether you have it or not. The telly licence is forced upon us. My family and I don’t watch anything as it’s broadcast due to work/family/lifestyle commitments and generally only watch RU-vid, Netflix, Disney+, etc on our travels or when we have a short time to wind down. It’s not any wonder why people moaning about the telly licence

@ApolloT-vp5dn 7 месяцев назад

That's because the licence fee is for the BBC. I don't watch BBC TV or their radio stations... so why am I forced to pay for it?

@letni9506 7 месяцев назад

But you can get it cheaper. There's plan with adverts which is much like watching itv etc and there's the 1080p plan too which for me is fine unless I sit too close to my TV. At about 8 feet away it looks 4k 😀

@ApolloT-vp5dn 7 месяцев назад

@letni9506 Streaming with adverts that replicates TV defeats the whole point of streaming. Even the 1080p package is getting too expensive to justify. And in relation to the 4K quality, compared to 4K BluRay, the streaming of 4K is worthless as the bit rate is so poor you end up with a worse image than if you stick with 1080p.

Never had Sky or Disney and Netflix cancelled about a year ago. RU-vid run with adblockers. All we pay for is Apple for music and Amazon for free deliveries etc. We have a TV in the living room and 2 bedrooms, but they are used for video games. Kids use their tablets and phones. I honestly can't remember the last time we watched anything on BBC/ITV etc - maybe 2012??

@algreen1 7 месяцев назад

Agree with you, Netflix is not really worth it for me either. I occasionally subscribe if I'm terribly bored. I feel that movies have somewhat gone the way of the music industry where we are just super saturated with media from all directions for free that it's simply rarely worth it to pay for a movie. Now don't get me wrong, I will pay and handsomely for my favourite actors but only if I have time to see it at the movies etc. Cheers for the videos btw

I pay for it in Ukraine (VPN) and I'm still considering just cancelling as I only get it for the family. Even though I have it I still P2P my stuff as it's easier for me and I can track all my stuff on trakt. I also pay for RU-vid premium family. I think RU-vid is the only thing I'd keep. I cancelled Disney plus too. It's crazy when P2P is better by far. Better quality and everything in one location. I do pay for a P2P service I won't list here but it's only a few pounds a month and makes everything work just as Netflix or Disney plus.

@imaner76 7 месяцев назад

I watch it, but it's not worth £17:99. That's one expense that will be being cancelled. Not sure why they are pricing themselves out of business. I guess they are as desperate as their current offerings. Sad times.

Only thing I bought is Chanel 4 OD. It’s ad- free and £40 for the year. I just love all the old shows. I’ve rewatched Derry Girls, IT Crowd and Fraiser so many times. Other than Stranger Things (not the last series), nothing else on Netflix stands out. They seem so unoriginal with their original stuff. And the choice of mainstream/non-Netflix shows is very limited. If I had the financial means, I’d definitely get a better Sky package though because let’s face it, it is so worthwhile with the millions of channels.

@Charonupthekuiper 7 месяцев назад

The benchmark is the licence fee, dropping all live broadcasts in favour of just one service even with with adverts seems a bad move unless no one in your household watches live tv. The tv licence fee has fallen behind so the next few years will be interesting with a new government and the charter renewal in 2027.
