As crazy as this sounds, maybe all this recent talk about price hikes, even though prices were actually raised last year, might have actually scared people off. Or, it really was the price hikes. Either way, Netflix added far fewer subscribers than expected.
“While ungrandfathering and associated media coverage may moderate near term membership growth, we believe that ungrandfathering will provide us with more revenue to invest in our content to satisfy members, thus driving longterm growth,” the company tells investors in the note. “Over the second half of this year, we’ll complete ungrandfathering. Our threetier pricing (in the US: $7.99 SD, $9.99 HD, and $11.99 UHD) is working well for us and for new members, and our gross additions remain healthy.”
