Before you cancel Netflix, consider this

When Netflix first started streaming content way back in 2011, a subscription would run you $7.99/month. That’s also what the lowest subscription tier costs today, only now you also have to watch ads that pop up unexpectedly in the middle of shows and movies that weren’t built to accommodate them. If you want to watch Netflix the old way, you’ve got to pay $17.99/month, or $24.99 if you want to stream in 4k Ultra HD. Also, where Netflix used to encourage password sharing, it now keeps a tight lid on it, making it harder to split the cost.
