200,000 users abandon Netflix after crackdown backfires::Aussies have spoken, and the results are not looking good for Netflix. A new report reveals why users are turning to streaming competitors.
I’m not in the habit of dictating financial choices for others. If it’s not worth it you, I totally respect that. 10 years ago I would not have subscribed to more than one service, which I would probably have rotated (if they existed), because I wouldn’t be able to afford it.
It is not, however, a worse deal than cable/dish networks, just as a matter of comparison. You’d face the same content problems but pay the same or more for even more content you are not interested in.
I went without any sort of cable/dish for a long time, until my wife got a sweet deal through her work, because it didn’t make financial sense to us. It was still a bit of a rip-off even at the discounted rate because there was little content we actually wanted.
