Is that now with everyone and what does it mean?

Why does Netflix go up with the prices
Ni

An email? If yes, make sure that it is a real email and not a phising mail, because I did not get such an email ;-)

gu

Yes, quite normal with the name Netflix.

The e-mail address is:

http://mailto:info@mailer.netflix.com

Me neither, but a thousand times in the newspaper.

I think the price increase is appropriate, because divided into 4 people, there are still only about 4 euro. Although not completely compliant with the AGB but not my problem.

This price increase was announced long before and only now enforced.

Okey, that's right. I did not know anything about that, they announced that.

In the US, more and more television networks have recently started streaming their own streaming services, showing their own television series and films exclusively there. This is doubly annoying for Netflix: on the one hand, additional competing offers, on the other hand, they come to less or no content of the respective channels.

In a price war (at the same time reduced content) Netflix but probably will not go, because the segment occupied already Amazon. So Netflix has to fill the hole in content with their own productions. But that's more expensive than licensing on TV.

To compensate (and since the last price increase had no effect on the number of users), so you increase the subscription prices.

That makes sense. Then they should not disappoint me either.

Well, if I were someone who would send out phishing emails, I would do it NOW, because it was reported everywhere ;-) And the link behind "Netflix Account" can also be a phishing site, which you can use on your smartphone can't see directly.

It has nothing to do with it. I can also send you an e-mail where the sender is bill.gates@microsoft.com ;-) Or how about donald.trump@IchMachMirInDieHose.us

In your place I would not click on the link, but go directly to Netflix and log in there.

Okey, thank you!
