Netflix Price Increase Notification?

My billing date is coming up in just over a week, but I haven't gotten the notice yet. Their reason for the increase - more Netflix-produced junk - is a major reason (in addition to the price increase) that I might drop it. Have any of you gotten the notice? Remember when they used to have lots of good movies?

Well its just a buck. But Jerry I do believe this will be my last price hike that I will tolerate. In order to keep me after this hike they will need to start adding a better variety of movies and TV series. Currently watching Netflix TV series from their beginnings that I had never tried before. The last movie I really enjoyed was "Mudbound" A bit slow at the beginning but I myself found it very entertaining.
Cheers,
GLS

If you like westerns, Godless on Netflix is very good strangers things gave me the creeps the boy being possessed was freaky Netflix originals as well as AMC, Amazon, HBO are good

I cut cable years ago so in the long run I’m still paying but paying less for TV ATT unlimited plan includes HBO Now but the catch is you have to sign up for Directv Now after discount cost around $10 a month

I had Netflix subscription that sends one Blu-ray disk at a time but dropped that for streaming only One disk at a time was nice newer movies...

I got my notice last week. They have enough stuff I do enjoy to warrant my keeping it.

I received the notification of the price increase and promptly cancelled my account. I went through the current movie and found absolutely nothing I wanted to watch. :-(

Their lousiest movies are no worse than the choices on cable or satellite TV. We received our notice on screen about 3 weeks ago. What angered me was you had to make a choice right there and then if you wanted to continue watching their movies. We are thinking of dumping satellite and going with Netflix, OTA, and maybe another streaming service. Any news worth watching can be gotten through streaming anyway. I would miss perennial reruns of Law & Order. lol I do not like the many "B" grade movies with sub-titles on Netflix. So many these days in Chinese, Turkish, a few various Scandinavian dialects, Korean, etc. with English sub-titles.
For now we are staying with them.

Consider DirecTV now they have an app works on your phone and AppleTV, maybe Roku if you have ATT unlimited you get HBO for free also Hulu I pay extra no commercials cut cable years ago use an over the air antenna plus HD Homerun goes into a network switch use a Mac Mini with EyeTV to record OTA shows
