does that mean they'll start paying the writers/actors properly and we're close to a deal? or they just want to dig their grave?

[Attitude]

Back to pirating, I guess. 

[kandicha]

I’ll just cancel Disney+ then, not worth it.

[Zeferino]

Looks like it’ll be my last two years with it  assuming the hikes are coming in 2024 for Mexico 

[Bloodflowers.]

Thank god I binge watched Love,Victor this past week while my parents were away for vacation

 

[BeenTheShit]

Ironic that prices are going up considering there won't be any new content to add with the strikes. 

[Arcadius]

Girl bye

[Hector]

Fits Bob Iger right yet again after his tone deaf comments on the strikes.

[LustSpell]

Egregious.

[Shelter]

Disney is terrible tbh 

[Bandito]

They need to just combine Disney+ and Hulu at this point, one company having two services to just drain everyone’s wallets is bullshit. If anything, that + these new changes just pushes more people towards piracy so the joke’s on them.

In the US, it is so not worth it

[Hiatus]

And people said the return of the old Bob would be better for consumers 

 

Only a matter of time before they stop blu-ray releases entirely. They already stopped them in Australia. So awful.

I'm glad I learned how to torrent any show or movie years ago  I still paid for the streaming platforms because it's more convenient and prettier, you can do it directly from your Apple TV/Smart TV, etc. but all these antics will make me and many others go back to pirating 

[Hiatus]

Literally double what it was on launch 

And it's only been, 4 years? Damn. 

[nostalgic]

Miss Piracy just can't stop winning. Ugh, love her

These companies are really digging their own graves with these price hikes and password crackdowns. Didn't Peacock lose a bunch of money after they restricted a bunch of content? Hopefully this happens and they start backtracking. Physical media >

[Power love]

Hulu is 7.99$ for me currently.

netflix gained a ton of revenue when it cracked down on password sharing and you don't people in here crying about that 

[Rebel Lion]

They don't want people to subscribe to their services anymore, do they?

 

Most people don't have the time to watch on streaming anymore because they are working long hours which it why binge watching is so popular now. People just subscribe for a month and that's it or better yet get a free trial.

[Baby Judas]

Well, I guess more of this is coming.. Disney is over!  

 

 

[Daddy]

Cancelled all streaming services 2 months ago and I'm back to piracy. This is ridiculous.

Neflix is an exception. I mentioned Peacock which didn't have the same result after they paywalled a lot of their content that was previously free with ads. Regardless, it's stupid, and a lot of low income people, college students, and the like aren't going to pay extra to watch a show they can watch for free illicitly. My household doesn't happen to have very many people using netflix so it's not an issue, but I'm sure for others it is.

[thatsmydemi]

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous at this point.
