More price increases: Shudder

The Shudder streaming service is raising its prices.

In the past two plus years, a lot of streaming services have increased prices, some more than once. Shudder was $5/month ($4/month if paid annually) when it launched, and went up a couple of years ago to $6/month. The new price is $7/month, starting August 28.

Shudder isn't my cup of tea (or hemlock), so I've not used the service. However, it is a popular service, for its content. I haven't seen a lot of blow back to the upcoming price increase, so fans may tolerate it. People have fussed about other increases, and then went along with it. Shudder, being more of a niche streaming service, may have an even more loyal following.

My Streaming Life won't be impacted, as I subscribe to very few services, and nothing in the horror genre. However, I do feel for those being impacted. I'm glad they are able to find the content they want, just not glad about them having to pay more.
