Global streaming service Netflix is under fire as more users complain about higher subscription prices. Many subscribers say the increases are unfair, especially at a time when families are already struggling with the rising cost of living. The issue has become one of the main reasons behind the growing Cancel Netflix movement.
Password-sharing crackdown sparks global criticism
Another factor fueling the campaign is Netflix’s crackdown on password-sharing. For years, millions of people around the world shared accounts with friends or relatives. The new rules make this harder, leaving many long-time users angry. Social media users argue the company is ignoring its loyal customer base.

When tech billionaire Elon Musk joined the movement, the campaign quickly gained more global attention. Musk’s simple online posts criticizing Netflix spread fast and encouraged many people to cancel their subscriptions. His influence, especially on platforms like X gave the campaign new momentum.
Complaints over Netflix content and political bias
Some subscribers also argue that Netflix’s content choices no longer reflect a wide range of audience interests. Critics say the platform has become too political and has lost focus on general entertainment. Supporters of the campaign believe that Musk’s backing highlights these concerns and increases pressure on Netflix to respond.
The backlash against Netflix is happening while other platforms like Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV+ are competing for subscribers. Customers now have more options, which makes it easier to cancel one service and try another. Experts say the streaming service competition could force companies to listen more closely to customer demands.
