Netflix has 300 million subscribers. Buying WB for $80 Billions means every subscriber has to pay at least ~266$ for Netflix to break even. That's about $4.50 per month per subscriber if you spread it out over 5 years. Get ready for for some price hikes.

They can also raise prices for HBO

True. after a quick search the WB side has ~130 million subsribers. Taking them into account it would be ~ $3 per month instead of the $4.50.

WB is also generating money. So that's not completely true.

They'll probably make some double pack for a discounted price.
