Netflix is starting to raise prices in some countries as growth spurred by its crackdown on password sharing starts to fade.

The film and TV streaming giant said it had already lifted subscription fees in Japan and parts of Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa over the last month.

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.

In its latest results, Netflix announced that it had added 5.1 million subscribers between July and September - ahead of forecasts but the smallest gain in more than a year.

    The fact you didn’t get the guy was referring to the scare of Communism, rather than advocating for communism, and you immediately went into post hoc rationalisation mode is the best evidence to how accurate his comment is. Furthermore it is an excellent reflection of modern US society. You yanks would rather cut your nose to spite your face than to grow a modicum of empathy for the human condition.

      Swing and miss. I’m not even American. I am from a country that suffered under real-world Communism for decades though.

          My great uncle (who was 12 at the end of WW2) had to hide from the Soviets for years, caught pneumonia and almost died before he managed to escape over the Iron Curtain. He suffered from serious health complications for the rest of his life. His mother was murdered on the spot, his teenage sister abducted into the Gulag system. She died somewhere in the Ural mountains, never to be heard of or seen again.

          You on the other hand feel smug and smart about yourself by using entry level college vocabulary on a topic you know less than nothing about. There are few people on this planet I detest more than those who are, for whatever reason, carrying water for authoritarians and authoritarian systems.

            Ad hominem, very civilised. Still missing the point OP was not advocating communism but using the allusion to it as a boogey man.

            Interesting story about your elders, if true, they sound like brave people who were delt a shit hand. Nobody deserves this, much respect to their memory. You’re still American.

              Ich glaube nicht, dass du mit dieser Gesprächstaktik bei mir oder irgendwem anderes auf einen grünen Zweig kommen wirst. Viel Spaß damit, den Sinn hinter dem ersten Satz mit einem Übersetzungsprogramm zu verstehen.
