Streaming Service Cancellations Rise As 'Streamflation' Bites
NeoMetallix > 01-04-2024, 05:59 AM
Quote:The point behind 'cord-cutting' was to enjoy premium content and movies through streaming platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, and AppleTV+, among others, to skip the middleman (big cable) and save money.
However, streaming companies got too greedy in 2023. They increased monthly subscriptions to improve 'profitability' and have triggered the beginnings of what appears to be a cancellation wave.
A new report from Wallstreet Journal cites data from subscription analytics provider Antenna that shows customer defections across streaming services topped 6.3% in November, up from 5.1% a year earlier.
These streaming services keep getting more expensive or worse because of ads. Anyone else deciding to cancel? -

I'm getting fed up with all of these services. I only have Hulu but there's always some show exclusive to some other service that I want to watch but I won't because I don't want to sign up for another stupid streaming service. -

We used to pay for Netflix, now people have taken over payments for that. We use my sister's Disney +, we do pay for Amazon Prime which has prime streaming. and we get Paramount Plus through Walmart Plus.
So we have a few but the only one we pay for is Amazon Prime. Otherwise we wouldn't have any. Lol -

Netflix - secretly has every movie and tv show from every country but rotates it in and out per user.
Hulu - All good shows and movies that appear on cable
Max - south park
Paramount+ - niche genres like the Knuckles show
I say there are only 4 worth it. -

What about Peacock? That one always gets some exclusives that's annoying because I want to watch them. lol -

I get that HBO can be a channel that has a streaming service because it's already pay. NBC's peacock is a ripoff since it's just local TV. Use your DVR.

Really? I thought they had shows on it that they didn't air on TV? I could be wrong though and if that'sthe case then yeah it's a rip off. -

Ya, I cancelled all of my streaming services and now just have internet. It was too much money.
