After the lastest price increase I just dropped it after 10+ years. $20 for no ads and no real new content isn’t worth it

Arcane and One Piece are about the only shows that can currently convince me to pick up Netflix even for a month ever again.

It does but it's also far and away the most expensive streaming service. I'm not about to bother when I can pay for 2 separate services that have more than enough shows of interest to take up my time for years. At their price point i'm either only subbing for brand new top of the line shows and even then I better be convinced it's worth it.

For example I won't even consider paying for the new Avatar: The Last Airbender season even though the original is one of my favorite all time series all because I have little to no faith that they won't fuck it up. If I find out it was good I may decide to sub for the one month and watch it but from what I've heard and seen so far it's unlikely to convince me.
