The reasons why Netflix begins the year with this rise in its rates is the enormous investment of the firm in content. As you know, it is the streaming platform that spends the most money on its own content. Something that users value, due to the large number of series and movies that exist, but that causes these price increases. The platform wants to produce more movies, in many cases with budgets of up to $ 200 million.

So it is a way to raise more money to be able to invest in the development of these series or movies in which they currently work. They seek to protect themselves against the rise of new competitors, which are coming to the market this year.

It will be necessary to see the way in which those users with a Netflix account in these countries in America react. Users in Brazil and Mexico have been spared the price rise, as has been known.
