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.
Many of us who had settled on land be thinking of travels
Don’t over think it. The sea is calling.
Never fell for the land the sea was always my home.
Your local library has a copy of every kids Disney movie you could possibly want. No need to pay em for access to something your tax dollars pay for. And if you wanna go below board: just rip em and keep em forever.
What physical media do they have available?
Back when netflix first started, I subscribed to the 4 dvd plan. I’d rip and burn a copy of every movie that came through the house (if we liked it, that is). I was one of the few friends that had a DVD-R drive, and would make copies on request.
I still have an old case logic disk book completely filled with burnt dvds. I just built my first computer that doesn’t have a removable-disk drive, and with that, I no longer have any way to play dvds/blu-rays. Not one disc player in the whole house.
I built my last computer during the pandemic, and put in a blu-ray writer (obviously DVD and CD backwards compatible) just for legacy purposes. It was actually hard to find a case with a 5.25" front bay. In two years I haven’t used it once.
It’s a shame - digital media DRM is going to escalate quickly once there is no physical media sold, since all our PCs have TPM chips now, so this may not turn out well for us - but I’ve accepted it’s inevitable at this point.
You can also stream all of them for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/
Just make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.
Not sure why the top voted comments are always stupid advice like “libraries” or “plex servers.”
We’ve had the solutions to these problems right in front of us for years. All we need to do is realize them.
Use your brain, not your wallet.
Cause they aren’t the random shady website you posted and your tax dollars pay for the library, so you might as well use it!
A fool is born every minute.
your tax dollars pay for the library
Lol, what?
Twice the price and half the quality you would expect. So glad I dropped my subscription.
The amazing thing is anyone ever paid to stream Disney…Disney adults are creepy and the corporation itself appears to be a child grooming & trafficking operation.

Oh man I got to tell my mom about this, she’s going to be so angry that she has to pay more

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.
I’m not defending them, but this was clearly always the plan. It was obvious they intended to enter the market just under competitor prices to establish a foothold and then later charge more and reset the industry standard in doing so.
Again, I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, because it does, but this was clearly the Disney+ game plan since day 1
What the fuck math are you people doing? It went up from $110/year to 140/year. That’s a 20% increase. Still shit…but where in the fuck are you people getting a 75% increase? Just fucking google it and you’ll see that OP is completely wrong…
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.
Except for dropout, that one’s worth every penny.
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.
Stuff like this is the reason I built a NAS a few years ago.
Why do we care about this on a piracy community? I never cared about prices and fees I don’t have to pay for anyway! Tough luck for those of you how sub to Disney.
Weird. My monthly rate is going up by $2. 75%???
Not sure how you missed out last time they increased the subscription cost. You must have renewed immediately before the increase from $80. That said, I’m out. The Android TV app has been having annoying audio issues and I’ve already cancelled every other service because of pricing.
