Netflix due to increase membership price amidst soaring viewership

Netflix has announced that their price of membership will increase for both tiers;

Without ads currently it is $15.49 and will increase to $17.99 (~£14.60) a month
Membership with adverts currently is $6.99 and will increase to $7.99 (~£6.49) a month

(please note Netflix has not announced the UK pricing so the above are from the dollar to pound sterling conversion as of 2025/1/22)

With the success of Squid Game 2, incredible viewership from Tyson vs Paul, and partnerships with the NFL/WWE, Netflix has been pulling in above-expected sales.
However when will the price be too much for the average consumer and become akin to cable/satellite (a luxury that only rich people could afford).

Will you be continuing your subscription to this platform with this recent price increase?

Apparently they make the most money from the cheapest tier due to the adverts I think I read somewhere? I wouldn’t be surprised if they want people to move to that one to have a bigger audience for ads.

The ad supported tier is pretty good to be fair at £4.99 as there are very few ads on the UK version. Like 1 30 second break per episode last few times for me. Not sure what other countries are like.
