Perhaps, and this is very cynical of me, they are thinking, how can we make folks feel bad against the writers and actors?
price hike and people pay for it: They blame the writers and actors for the price hike.
price hike and people do not pay for it and leave, Netflix and people can blame the writers and actors as well. ("see!!! those demands are just not accepted by people!!! ")
I think Netflix would simply see that as a nice extra benefit. But the main reason is to “stick it” to the writers/actors. Without incurring the wrath of customers for the price hike themselves, they will just point their finger…

Why do I get the feeling that Netflix would be raising prices this year even if the writers and actors strikes had never happened.
This stinks of the suits using the strike as something to blame the price rise on.
Exactly. They’re just using the strike as an excuse.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.

It’s the only reason for the price hike I think.
The more obvious reason to me is that they’ve got X subscribers, and they think they can make Y more dollars by raising prices for all of them.

Exactly. Fuck that behavior!
