Netflix FAQ
Is Netflix worth it?
That depends on how much you watch! If you watch 10+ hours per month, the cost per hour can be as low as $1.50. Compare that to a $15 movie ticket (2 hours = $7.50/hour).
Should I cancel Netflix?
Consider rotating subscriptions. Subscribe for 1-2 months, binge your shows, then cancel and switch to another service.
