As if 2017 isn’t already disappointing enough, here comes Netflix announcing that its prices are set to soar yet again. Yep, our go-to streaming service just proved that the best things (i.e., binge-watching Stranger Things in pajamas on a Friday night) are indeed never free, increasing the prices of its most popular plans starting October 19. While the price of the basic plan remains at $7.99 for single-screen viewers, standard and premium plans will now cost you $10.99 (formerly $9.99) and $13.99 (formerly $11.99). It’s the first time in two years that Netflix decided to raise its prices, and it makes total sense considering wildly successful in-house shows like Narcos and Master of None. But that doesn’t mean this editor will stop mourning the loss of a dollar each month. (Darn you, inflation.)
