Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

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.

Tygr,

Streaming platforms are all joining in on the enshitification process.

Soon, people will join one service for one month then switch to the next.

After that, they will all begin contracts to “lock in the price.” Possibly in bundle agreements with multiple providers.

That’s when the full transition to $120+ cable costs returns, but in streaming format.

SnipingNinja,

Except for dropout, that one’s worth every penny.

sep,

Never canceling that. I’d rather rewatch anything d20 over anything on netflix.

My wife and I have rewatched all of game changer at least 3 times. It’s easily the best $45 I spend each year.

yoz,

Lol suckers born every minute

workinkindofhard,

I’ve been a paid subscriber since day one but canceled yesterday when I got this notice. I’ll just pirate whatever looks good going forward, between the arrs and Plex it’s actually a better experience anyway lol

June,

I’m a monthly subscriber and didn’t get a notification that my price was going up this month which made it pretty neat when my charge went through.

I’m only keeping it to share with my parents, the second they follow Netflix’s new policy on password sharing though I’m out

Ranadok,

It’s coming. I’ve been using my sisters D+ account, but she got notice that they’re cutting off account sharing as of the end of October (in Canada at least), so back to sailing the high seas for me.

asexualchangeling,

For my parents sake I’m keeping it until that gets to me, though they have been warned and are going through everything they want to watch as fast as they can

Taleya,

Just as doctor who is about to land.

If i had to pay to see it, i would be deeply pissed.

stolid_agnostic,

Yeah I noticed that coincidence too.

paddirn,

Twice the price and half the quality you would expect. So glad I dropped my subscription.

Piracy is the only good way to consume media, man even the customer support is better!

Yarr intensifies

Techmaster,

You’ll continue to enjoy 12 months for the price of 20.

Waldemar_Firehammer,

It’s already been cancelled. 🏴‍☠️

KrashKrunal,

I’m so glad I don’t pay for Disney Plus… I’ve had it for free coming up to 3 years now - almost expiring? Upgrade my phone contract (sometimes for cheaper than my current costs) and get 3 to 6 months free Disney Plus, and I can upgrade as often as I want/need to.

When my partner bought a new phone from Samsung she got full year of Disney Plus, that ended a few months ago so we used the same offer that I got for my new phone.

(Have been able to choose a different reward to Disney Plus during that time).

Once that ends I’ll be back to using my phone contract but definitely don’t plan on paying for it. I’ll sail the high seas before I ever pay for Disney Plus!

SendMePhotos,

… You fuckin what.

narc0tic_bird,

Is physical media still available for most Disney stuff? How viable an alternative is that now?
