12% of subscribing respondents were reported to have a loss of interest in original content

Both subscribers and non-subscribers to Netflix who were surveyed by Jefferies indicated that price was a concern: current subs were more likely to cancel their service if the monthly rate went up, and non-subs cited the price as the biggest reason to not sign up for the SVOD service.
