NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES SERIES

Rumors on social media say that Netflix expects to remove password sharing. Recently, Netflix has made changes limiting the amount of users per account. These are only a few of the recent changes that have sparked controversy among many users.

Removing many classic favorite tv shows and movies such as Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and The Notebook has disappointed many subscribers. In 2012, Netflix began to come out with Netflix Original Series with around 1,500 total to this day. Getting rid of these shows caused many Netflix subscribers to expand to other platforms such as Hulu, HBO Max, Showtime, Disney Plus or Amazon Prime Video.

As of January 2023, there are many options as to different pricing and plans for your netflix account. The Basic plan with ads is $6.99, Basic is $9.99, Standard is $15.49 and premium is $19.99. All of these are chargeed monthly.Although the Premium plan is the most costly, it allows 4 users to watch at once.

Although they have changed the pricing, they are offering a more affordable plan with ads. While Netflix is removing many original favorites, other platforms still offer them. I can primarily understand the increase in monthly cost, but removing shows is taking away the value of what it once held.

New Netflix Original Series are undoubtedly good and they have different shows and movies for different preferences. Some honorable mentions I’ve seen include Stranger Things, You, The Crown, Black Mirror and Orange Is the New Black.

I feel that Netflix is still worth the cost considering how many amazing shows that it offers. Considering how these streaming services have taken over tv compared to cable has completely changed everything. I hope to see Netflix continue series many people have been waiting on for a long time.

The cost of cable tv stands between $20 and $250 monthly, with $87 being the average cost. With most of these services being $15-20 monthly, I think it’s a much better deal to have a variety of different platforms rather than just cable.

There was decrease of Netflix users between 2021 and 2022; a difference of around 80,000 subscribers. Since 2011, the number of users has doubled every 3 years. Removing many classics has not unnamed Netflix as a high standing tv show and movie classic website.
