When I canceled my Netflix subscription after the last round of price increases, I thought I was out for good. I had paid for my own plan after getting kicked off of my mom’s plan when geo-restrictions became more rigid (we live in different countries), but there was no way I could justify more than $15 a month for a single streaming service.
Then I noticed that everything I want out of Netflix is available on the cheapest ad-supported plan: HD streaming, two simultaneous streams, the incredible catalog of Netflix mobile games, and, most importantly, a healthy dose of My Little Pony episodes my five-year-old daughter has been nagging me to watch. It was an easy decision at less than half the Standard plan’s price.
