I'm currently paying Prime and Hayu because of the shows I enjoy. Even though I have a Plex box and can easily acquire the content and watch it there, I'm totally happy to pay reasonable streaming costs of a couple of services.

But Netflix is just taking the piss at this point. Unlike Prime, I can't watch Netflix both at home and away without paying even more, and the UK selection of shows is quite frankly abysmal. I signed up for one month as staying with family, but found nothing anyone wanted to watch, so cancelled.

We're watching something on Prime almost every evening.

Yes, I watch a lot on Disney+ so, while I sometimes um and ah about it, what they have justifies the cost. I can also share with a friend and watch it where I like, so it's convenient too.

I stayed with a friend while moving house and they had Netflix, so I watched everything I wanted to see (and some stuff I didn't) then I'd largely completed it. If they are going to jack the price up, they need to justify it with more quality content and stop cancelling shows - too many times I'd enjoy a series and then they wouldn't renew for a second season. It had done it's work hooking in new users and could then be binned.
