Netflix hidden codes emerged as an internal tool to classify their content through metadata. Each number corresponds to specific categories or subcategories that group films and series according to gender, theme, language, actors and other criteria.
Initially, these codes were destined to optimize the platform recommendation algorithm. However, curious users discovered how to use them to directly access specific categories. Although Netflix does not officially promote them, codes have become popular as a way to explore their catalog in a more personalized and efficient way.
Netflix has announced an increase in the prices of its subscription plans in the United States, Canada, Portugal and Argentina, effective from the next billing cycle. The advertisement plan will increase from $ 6.99 to $ 7.99 per month, the standard plan without ads will go from $ 15.49 to $ 17.99, and the Premium plan will rise from $ 22.99 to $ 24.99 per month, in the United States.
The company justifies these increases as part of its strategy to continue investing in programming and improve user experience.
In a communication to its investors, Netflix said: “As we continue to invest in programming and offer more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to contribute a little more so that we can reinvest and continue improving Netflix.”
This price adjustment occurs after a year of growth for the platformwhich added 19 million new users in the last quarter, reaching a total of 300 million subscribers globally.
Despite this growth, the company considers that it still has room to expand, since it currently represents less than 10% of the total television display time in the countries where it operates.
These modifications could also reflect Netflix’s efforts to adapt to a competitive market and maintain its leadership while exploring new sources of income, such as the plan with ads recently introduced.
Netflix has not specified if these increases will be applied in other regions in the future. The company has indicated that, from the first quarter of 2025, it will only report on “important subscriber milestones” when they are reached, instead of reporting the number of new users added in each period.
