Netflix, the streaming behemoth, has announced yet another round of price increases, leaving many subscribers wondering if their subscription is still worth it.

As inflation and corporate greed seem to go hand-in-hand, the world’s largest streamer continues to rake in billions while squeezing a little more from its loyal customer base.

As reported by AV Club, starting now, Netflix’s standard ad-free plan will jump from $15.49 to $17.99 per month. Premium plans? They’re climbing from $22.99 to $24.99. If you’re sharing your account with someone outside your household, you’ll also pay a little extra—those add-ons now cost $7.99 instead of $6.99.

Even ad-supported plans aren’t safe, increasing from $7.99 to $8.99 per month. It seems Netflix isn’t content with merely dominating the streaming world; it’s coming for your wallet too.

Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement

Netflix justifies these price hikes by pointing to its massive growth. In the last three years, the platform has added 19 million new subscribers, now boasting over 300 million globally. Yet, despite their jaw-dropping $10 billion revenue in the last quarter, the company insists they need more cash.

Prepare to pay up. And don’t expect the price hikes to stop here. Netflix is projecting revenue of $44.5 billion next year, meaning more ads and even higher costs could be just around the corner.

Meanwhile, the streaming giant continues investing in lackluster live events like Jake Paul boxing retirees and churning out “blockbuster” films that often fail to capture any real cultural relevance.

Sure, there are hits like Squid Game and Bridgerton, but are they enough to justify these escalating prices?

So, is it still worth it? That depends on whether you believe the next season of your favorite show is priceless or just overpriced.
