    I was about to cancel my Netflix when I saw that I’m grandfathered into $10/month for ad-free. The only thing I find worth watching there are K-Dramas these days and that’s roughly the cost of a Viki Rakuten account, so I’ve decided to keep it…for now.

    The second anything requires me to change from my current sub, that’s a wrap.

      I downgraded from the top tier to that grandfathered one when they announced it was going away. Not holding my breath it’ll be immune to price hikes for long. We haven’t watched anything on there in months and will definitely cancel if they hike it.
