Netflix is the world's largest streaming service, with 183 million subscribers (as of March 2020) paying monthly to watch shows like Stranger Things, The Crown and the rest of the streamer's extensive movie and TV catalog. Until recently, it also had one of the most generous free trials of any streamer, with new subscribers able to get a whole month of the service free.
However, in October 2020, the service removed its free trial in the U.S., with a spokesperson for Netflix saying, "we're looking at different marketing promotions in the U.S. to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience."
This removal of the Netflix free trial reflected the massive changes in the streaming sector is the short term in response to the coronavirus pandemic and in the long term since Netflix launched its first original series in 2013.
In the short term, a number of streaming services dropped their free trial in 2020 as a result to minimise any losses they were making after bringing movies originally destined for cinematic release to streamers.
When Disney+ released Hamilton onto its service, as well as Pixar movie Soul, these were major releases that would bring millions to the service, but they would also bring a significant audience of people who would watch these films on a free trial and then cancel their subscription.
Whereas newer streamer services like Disney+ or HBO Max have one or two breakout shows like The Mandalorian or Raised By Wolves, Netflix has some of the most-watched shows in the world, like Stranger Things, The Crown and Ozark. So if the newer streamer could build an audience without luring people in for free, then presumably the thinking was that so could Netflix, especially as millions around the world found themselves at home due to the coronavirus, with few options other than binge-watching endless TV.
In the long-term, meanwhile, the market has been moving away from free trials in general, with the trials offered getting smaller. The first three major streaming services in the U.S. were Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, all of which offered (or in the latter two cases, still offer) 30-day free trials. This was based on the model of cable services like Showtime, which offered month-long free trials for potential viewers.
Now, however, the norm is seven days, with media companies trying to recoup the millions they have pumped into joining the 'streaming wars' as quickly as possible. Among the services that offer a week free trial are Peacock, Apple TV+ and Discovery+, all of which launched in 2020.
Quibi, meanwhile, offered viewers who signed up before it released a 90-day free trial, then a 14-day free trial after it aired, which industry commentators cited as one of the many reasons it shutdown just six months after it launched.
Rather than offering new subscribers unfettered access to the whole catalog for a length of time, the streamer has introduced Watch Free, a segment that allows viewers to watch selected episodes of its biggest shows, hoping to get viewers hooked enough to pay to watch the whole thing.
Among the shows currently available to watch free are episodes of Stranger Things, Grace and Frankie, Spanish teen soap Elite, kid's content like Boss Baby: Back in Business and the acclaimed mini-series When They See Us.
And I did sign up. Immediately, Netflix charged me $16.99. I contacted both Roku and Netflix support to inquire and was told there was no such promotion. But on both the Netflix Channel Store page and on the Netflix APP on Roku, it clearly says Try One Month Free.
I don't know if this applies in this case, but in general if you've ever tried a service before any "free" offer no longer applies. So if you've ever had Netflix or tried one of their free trials in the past you won't get it again. It should be clearly spelled out, but it clearly isn't in what you've shown.
Thanks, @renojim . This was an initial subscription for me. Both Roku and Netflix made it very difficult to send an email so they could "see" the error. Chat support was all that was available on both sides. Netflix did say that they have not had a "free" promotion for years and Roku said Netflix was responsible for it's content and advertising. It's a simple fix, but I am posting this because others who may want to try Netflix can contest the charge based on this and perhaps, like me, get the first month back! But just be aware, Netflix cancelled my account immediately on learning of the dispute, but I got my free month and may or may not renew. Just left a bad taste!
Though some other streaming services still offer a free month trial, most of them require payment from new users. This could perhaps be due to how users could exploit the offer by making new accounts for each new month, ultimately never paying for the service.
A family's $200 million lawsuit against St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital over a case that was brought to light in a Netflix documentary, Take Care of Maya, has gone to court, Fox 13 News reported Sept. 21.
Johns Hopkins All Children's twice reported Maya's mother, Beata Kowalski, to the state's abuse hotline alleging child medical abuse after she requested the hospital give her daughter ketamine for her complex regional pain syndrome. The family claims Maya's ketamine infusion therapy had been part of her treatment for CRPS for more than a year.
In opening statements for the trial, which began Sept. 21, an attorney for Johns Hopkins All Children's said Maya received 55 doses of Ketamine over a nine month period, as well as a dose the day before her mother, Ms. Kowalski demanded emergency room physicians at the health system to administer more of the drug.
