Pretty sure I can soak it. I mean that's what, five bucks a month? If that's a hardship, kill the subscription and get a goddamn library card.
14 bucks per month is 5 bucks per month. Premium math of corporate shills checks out.
Or maybe they are sharing the family plan with 2 other people and rounding up. Or they have a different plan. Or they live in a country with different prices and converting to usd. Or a handful of other reasons that doesn't involve conspiracy theories.
Five dollars' increase. FFS
Individually maybe. But every streaming company has been doing price hikes. And you're not getting anything more, just some useless "AI" stuff I doubt anyone asked for. If they had said the increase was 100% so they could offer more to creators I wouldn't blink. Or using it to hire the support staff creators need, also would be cool with that. But this looks like nothing more than the corporate bottom line
Yeah, could very well be. But corporations gonna corporate. If you don't like the product, don't buy it.
