Netflix is now $27/month for the 4K video feed (which should be standard in 2026). From MacRumors:
Netflix is increasing its prices, with all plans set to get $1 to $2 more expensive. The ad-supported plan is now $8.99 per month, up from $7.99/month, while the Standard plan is $19.99 per month, up from $17.99 per month. Netflix's most expensive Premium plan is $26.99 per month, up from $24.99 per month. Extra member add-on pricing is also increasing by $1.
Netflix is junk food entertainment. Designed for a Wall-E generation of content consumers. There is very little of lasting value on the network.
But beyond that, $27 is a bad deal. You can buy movies off iTunes for $5-$10/each. That's 3-5 movies a month you can buy and still come out ahead, even if you only watch them once.
