Netflix fans furious after being told they must pay more to watch certain shows and movies

Daily Mail  

An aggravated Netflix user was shocked to learn that subscribers to the streaming platform can't watch certain movies or shows unless they upgrade their memberships. Some Netflix users have been complaining about locked content since last year Netflix explained the reason behind its decision to lock some content to certain subscribers. The $6.99-a-month Standard with ads plan allows streamers to watch Netflix content on two devices at the same time, with 'all but a few movies and TV shows available.' The Standard plan costs $15.49 a month and permits a subscriber to watch unlimited ad-free movies and TV shows.
