Netflix's latest price hike turns 4K and privacy into a luxury tax

[Redaktion]

Netflix's March 2026 price hike creates an $11 gap between privacy and data-harvesting. For many, the $26.99 Premium tier is a huge hardware tax on the 4K OLED screens they already bought. Ownership is officially over.

27 backs to watch all this LGBT propaganda, disguised as a TV series?! No, thank you.

I unfortunately had to stop Netflix because of the ridiculous price for 4k content. Prime has better price in EU, for now.

you can torrent everything

I've not torrented in decades now. You can find most stuff free on alternative streaming sites by just googling 'free media heck yea' or 'fmhy'.

Maybe I'm just getting old. Don't have the patience to wait for torrents to complete when there's streaming sites giving same quality instantly now.

I've never paid for VPN either but then again I'm fortunate enough to have an isp and live in a region that doesn't care at all about any of this.

These price hikes are outrageous.

These days, fewer and fewer people are watching traditional TV because of the commercials. And American streaming platforms are so stupid that they want to force ads on us even with paid subscriptions. By treating people this way, like idiots, they're destroying their own business model.
