On October 19, 2017, Netflix increased their subscription prices by a dollar.
Netflix hasn’t raised their prices in two years, so the October dollar raise took a few people by surprise, including Logan 
students.
Out of all of the students surveyed, 81% are Netflix users. The non-Netflix users use other streaming outlets like, Youtube, Kodi and, illegal streaming sites.
Some students have said Netflix raising their prices is a good idea for several reasons.
Mary Kay Jimenez, a senior, thinks Netflix is making the right choice. “They’re in a 20 billion dollar debt. Thankfully, they actually make good shows and movies.”
Joan Benasa, a 12th grader said, “… it does make sense due to their success rate at the moment. I would probably pay the few extra dollars.”
Most students don’t feel affected by the raise in prices since their family members are paying for it. They’ve also said their family members don’t feel affected by the price raises and wouldn’t mind paying the few extra dollars.
Sophomore, Lorenzo Taplin, said “My mom wouldn’t care because she uses it a lot.”
Jimenez also mentioned that her aunt pays for Netflix and doesn’t think a dollar raise would affect her aunt’s daily spending.
Another senior, Isabella Beausoleil, feels neutral about the price raise. She said, “I personally am not affected by it.”
One student, Janelle Dilig, wouldn’t pay the extra dollars for Netflix. She said, “Netflix don’t have that many good shows so probably not.”
Overall, 60% students interviewed say that Netflix should be charging $5-10 dollars per month. The other 40% have said Netflix should be charging $10-20 dollars per month, which Netflix is already heading towards.
