Bloody hell Netflix... Of course premium gets the biggest increase 😕

I could have sworn I read that ST is gonna be Crave exclusive.

It is.

Star Trek: Discovery is CBS All Access in the US, CraveTV (and airing on Space) here in Canada, Netflix everywhere else.

They tested this same price increase in Germany with a couple of users.

This is only a matter of time.

I haven't seen news either way, but I'd assume it'll be aired on a cable network. A different CBS Access-exclusive show, the Good Fight, was aired in Canada on the W Network (or something like that) and I don't recall it showing up on any streaming services... Though it was on Telus' weird on demand thing for free after airing; not sure if that was due to having the channel as a cable subscriber or what.

Thanks, I just checked and we're getting it on CTV and on Space. Funny how it will be easier to watch in most of the world than in the US.

I thought Discovery was going to be accessible to Canadians with a CBS All Access account as well?

Two dollar increase for premium? That's some bullshit right there. I'll probably downgrade to normal then.

Out of curiosity, how does the pricing match currency inflation over time since they started the streaming service?

 

[Subpar Spatula]

As streaming services inevitably get worse and/or more expensive, I wonder if this slows down the amount cord-cutting?

Naw, most cord cutters I know sub to netflix and pirate everything else. Cord cutting is still going to go up just on how easy it is to run a HDMI from your laptop or PC to the TV.

This news would bother me more if I hadn't already replaced my Netflix subscription with a Crave TV/Shudder combo several months ago.

Kind of reminds me of that weird Gaffer who said he'd be okay with a price increase because he wanted to give his money to Netflix to help pay their debt.
