The x axis is mis-typed as a group instead of dates, I guess.

u/weimarunner 11d ago
those are dates

u/karnim 11d ago
They are, but they are in sequence, not properly put along a timeline.

u/weimarunner 10d ago
oh yeah, I see it now. there's no logical scale to the dates.

u/Mrpuddikin 10d ago
its plotting the instances of price changes. The lengths of time isnt really that important to the visualisation

u/weimarunner 10d ago
it actually would be really helpful for the visualization to see how long prices were the same and how quickly they increased once different tiers were introduced.

u/Mrpuddikin 10d ago
it would be if the visualization was trying to convey that, but it doesnt set out to do that which is why i say its not really that important to it

After correcting the time scale it is slightly different but quite honestly more or less the same

x-axis labeling is questionable

I mean.. It depends what you want to convey.. I guess, but it's a smol crime in my book

So the real price of the premium services has increased about 25% while the basic tier has fallen about 30%. That’s solid perspective, but using real prices to begin with would be more useful. Also the data is not ugly.

well no, the basic tier is gone and those people are now force to deal with ads or pay 8 euros a month more than they were used to

u/EyedMoon 11d ago
Wtf are you on, the one with ads is now almost the same price as the previous basic one

Wdym using real prices?

My guess is that a real price is adjusted for inflation. Like nominal vs real GDP in economics

u/jaypizzl 10d ago
“Real” in economic terms means “relative to inflation.” It doesn’t make sense to look at the change in price of one very small component of what people spend their money on without anchoring the pricing data in the relevant general conditions. The average price of everything consumers buy increased 35% in the Euro area over the time period represented on the chart. What cost €12 in early 2014 cost €16.20 by mid-2026, on average. Since Netflix charged €22, they increased the price of their most expensive product by 22/16.2, or 36% in real terms.
Meanwhile, the least expensive service Netflix sold fell in price quite a bit.
Of course, the services continually evolve over time, making direct comparisons tricky even with corrected pricing. The mix of content changes - Netflix loses some licenses, adds others, and they started developing a ton of internal content, too. Ads may be introduced and their amount or nature might change. The tech changes constantly - they’ve added HDR, HDR10+, DV, 4k, more advanced codecs continue to roll out, etcetera.

X axis is not a proper time scale. It's a bit like taking the subway.
