Today is National Streaming Day, and for some people, Netflix isn’t on their list of options for watching their favorite shows. Last month, the streaming video behemoth reported a 200,000-subscriber drop in the first quarter of 2022. The business had predicted a 2.5 million subscription rise for that time span.

One major cause is the easing of COVID-19 pandemic limitations; people who were previously constrained to streaming video at home now have additional entertainment options, such as dining out, attending concerts, or seeing movies in theaters. Netflix is also suffering from inflation. Families are limiting spending due to the high cost of food and gasoline, and Netflix’s price hike at the start of 2022 may have drawn attention to it as a potential budget reduction.
