Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

    The fact of the matter is that $7 a month for what they are investing in content is not a sustainable business model. People will pay the extra without batting an eye. If an extra few $20’s out of your pocket is that big a deal in a calendar year, you probably are not their target demographic anyways and shouldn’t be paying for streaming services since you need to focus on living expenses.

        I have it on good authority that they spend lots on new content. Plus the actors and writers are going to be paid more. The customers fund the business. That’s how it works.

        Mentioning facts = bootlicking? Then advocating piracy without them definitely counts as bootlicking too, see how stupid you sound? 😂
