Isn't this like actually the 5th or 6th price hike in the last year? I already cancelled Netflix when they cracked down on password sharing but this just feels like they're trying to lose customers

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Netflix says it had a second straight quarter of strong growth in its ad-supported tier, though the business is still in its infancy.

The ad tier has gotten large enough, however, for the company to start retiring its cheapest ad-free option later this year.

Co-CEO Greg Peters said on the company’s earnings call that the ad tier has 23 million monthly active users in the 12 countries where it offers the plans, and he expects that number to continue growing.

Peters also noted that promotional bundles, à la wireless provider T-Mobile’s “Netflix on Us” deal, can help drive subscriber growth.

It will retire the plan — currently the least expensive ad-free option at Netflix — for all subscribers in Canada and the U.K. in the spring “and tak[e] it from there,” the company says in its letter to shareholders.

Netflix’s advertising team, led by Amy Reinhard, will have a lot more inventory to offer up in 2025, when it becomes the home of the WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw.

Again?

"Trump hints at fascist plans..."

It ain't a hint.

Noticed we haven't watched anything on it in a while. Was about to cancel it and then saw the ad for The Last Airbender live action, coming end of February.

If they drop the whole season, will binge-watch, then cancel.
