You did it again. You trusted them. You invested hours into a show, you paid the monthly toll, and what did you get? Another cancellation notification and a higher bill. Netflix just dropped a brutal one-two punch that has the internet screaming #CancelNetflix louder than ever before. If you thought the “Kaos” betrayal was bad, wait until you see your new receipt.
It’s the classic corporate squeeze. First, reports confirmed that Netflix is hiking the Standard plan prices again (hitting around $17.99 in the US), making it one of the most expensive utilities in your house. Then, mere days later, they swung the axe on That ’90s Show.
- The Cancellation: After two seasons of building a loyal (but apparently not “loyal enough”) fanbase, the Formans are gone. Kurtwood Smith (Red Forman) confirmed the news, leaving cliffhangers unresolved.
- The Pattern: It joins the infamous “Netflix Graveyard” alongside Kaos, Dead Boy Detectives, and Shadow and Bone. The message is clear: Unless you are Stranger Things or Wednesday, you are expendable.
- The Rage: Subscribers are sharing screenshots of their cancellation pages. The sentiment? “Why start a new show if it’s just going to die?”
We have reached the tipping point. Streaming was supposed to be the savior of TV, offering freedom from cable bundles. Now? It’s just Cable 2.0 with a worse user interface. When you combine aggressive price hikes with a content strategy that feels like a lottery, the trust is gone. If they can kill a legacy sequel like That ’90s Show without blinking, nothing is safe. Trash.
Be honest: Are you actually going to cancel, or are you just going to complain and keep paying $18 a month? Let me know in the comments.
