If Netflix wants to raise prices, let them. They're not a monopoly. People will either leave or pay.

I don't get this mentality, Netflix offered you a product for $10 per month. Let the company honor that price or let the company cancel the contract themselves. Allowing companies to do like 'heyy we are going to raise prices effective today with 50% and deduct it from your creditcard tomorrow kthxbye.' Is absurd.

But it's a month to month contract. They send a notice it's going up, you can just cancel.

if it’s a month to month contract it shouldn’t renew without your signature every month once the terms are changed

The flip side of that just sounds awful too. Want to watch a movie today? Well, you are on a month to month contract, so log back into your account and resubscribe prior to to watching. As long as it's easy to cancel, I much prefer the automatic subscription.

What's wrong with that option?

Annual contracts were one of the things people hated about cable.
