Is it the same price increase they announced months ago?

I still pay $7.99 for 4 at a time HD streaming.

It's only 2 dollars.

If two dollar increase is going go break the bank for some, I think they shouldn't even have netflix to being with.

It's not about the amount at all, you're completely missing my point. The amount has nothing to do with anything. It is a forced change that deviates from the initial contract so many signed up for in the first place, which would otherwise be illegal had they not paired it with a corporate restructuring as well.
People shouldn't be mad about the small amount, rather about that it is forced and breaks the initial signup contract. They assume everyone wants new Marvel and Disney content, so everyone needs to pay for their corporate moves and increase prices without consent.

Still worth it for me. I pay $120 a month for Comcast, $90 a year for Prime, and $14 a month for Netflix, and Netflix is used the most. I maxed out the number of items I can add to my queues. I'll never have nothing to watch.

Netflix should stop implementing VPN or DNS block

Malaysian Netflix sucks balls

Don't mind the price increase though

My long-time view on Netflix has been, I feel like I'm ripping them off. Even when that email went out a few years ago that they were raising prices for new subscribers but not for existing ones, I remember thinking that I totally would have paid the higher price if they upped it.

Yeah, and someone else. If that means they add everything and add a couple of bucks, then I have no qualms. Heck, I have no qualms with them raising the price and not adding any new studios. They're always adding stuff that I add to my queue.
