Threatening Netflix change causes resentment in the community: “They get greedy”

In Canada, the basic subscription was recently removed from the Netflix offer, which the community doesn’t like at all. However, the change could soon be implemented in Germany.

Netflix’s basic subscription is being canceled in Canada. It cost C$9.99 and allowed streaming on one device at a time.

So if you use Netflix alone, you either have the cheaper option, but in which advertising is played (standard subscription with advertising) or you pay 5 € more per month with the standard subscription. An indirect price increase is suspected behind the change.

Here you will find a detailed explanation of which subscription options are currently available from Netflix in Germany and which people will be hit particularly hard by the loss of the basic subscription.

How does the community react to the discontinuation of the subscription model in Canada? There are numerous negative reactions to the removal of the option among various posts from CTV News and CTV Edmonton as well as reddit.

Some users fear that the change would come to them too. Many said they would unsubscribe should further price increases come their way, while others have already unsubscribed as they felt the platform was already “getting too greedy”.

Other users give each other tips on which streaming platform they would recommend as an alternative.

  • RevWhalen: “If they raise the price any more, it’s saying goodbye to Netflix in this household”
  • Berfthegryphon: “Apple probably has the highest quality library of any streaming platform I know, and that’s the most available in Canada. I kept it after Ted Lasso ended because they have great shows.”
  • JusticeBaoBao: “I just quit Netlix. You get greedy. “
  • Netflix had only increased the price in May of this year and asked to pay for additional households with an account. You can find out more about this here from our colleagues at Gamepro.

    Will the basic subscription soon be discontinued with us too? There is currently no official information from Netflix as to whether your cancellation of the basic subscription is also planned in Germany.

    However, early signs suggest that the change could come to us as well. If you take out a Netflix subscription, the basic subscription will only be shown to you after another click; it’s sort of hidden.

    One can assume that Netflix wants to show the model less present, which the other three subscriptions and fewer people should choose. A complete elimination of the option would be conceivable.
