Ugh. I hate price increases. Increasing by a dollar every few years may not seem like much, but it adds up. Especially for a service that isn't essential. Like someone mentioned up-thread, Netflix is a luxury, not a necessity, and when push comes to shove, putting food on the table is more important than keeping a Netflix subscription. For many people, that dollar is a big deal.

I think we can handle a $1 price increase for a service that's rapidly changed the way we see TV. I'm no longer pirating anymore so it's quite a big deal to me to be an honest subscriber.

Netflix is very reasonably priced for the quality you receive. It is expanding into a lot more countries, so now the world can stream along! I've been on board with Netflix almost since day one! Love it!

The funny thing is that I think somebody must have been necroposting and revived an old topic, because this was news in 2014. The price increase already happened. It isn't news anymore. It looks like the prize goes to @tiffaninichole for posting in a dead topic. It had last been commented on in June 2015 by me, and she revived it at the end of November for some odd reason.

Yeah at first it doesn't seem like a lot, but as time goes on (especially if you've been a constant, loyal Netflix member) you will notice the increases over time which may seem more noticeable to the long term consumer than a new comer. Although, if you are to spend money on any streaming network I do not know if Netflix is the best because they do not upload seasons until months after when the show may have become irrelevant to you or something of that likeliness.
