Netflix is Forcing Another Price Hike on Many Subscribers By Ditching Basic Tier

As a dedicated Netflix fan, I’ve recently learned some exciting yet disheartening news.

This means that subscribers like me will only have two choices: pay $6.99 for the ad-supported tier or shell out at least $15.49 for the standard ad-free option. While I’m all for innovation, this price hike leaves me feeling a bit squeezed.

Lawmen and outlaws clashed against a backdrop that blended a Mars-like terrain with towns that mirrored their American counterparts.
