Disney+ is Crumbling

Disney raised prices & stopped password sharing
oh hello there.

[BurryStuff]

wasnt this, like, the entire reason streaming services were made?? because cable plans were too expensive??

MILLIONS MUST PIRATE
MILLIONS MUST PIRATE
MILLIONS MUST PIRATE

Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!
*YAR HAR FIDDLE DEE DEE, BEING A PIRATE IS ALLEGEDLY*

[rattle_me_bones]

The issue is that they're just going to cope and blame unsubscription rates on piracy. Companies like these are masters of dodging responsibility.

In Disney+ there is no plus, only a huge minus in your bank account

[CrazyBrosCael]

I love it when inflation slows, AND THEY STILL RAISE PRICES!

Remember folks, companies will increase the prices of their product/services if the consumer is ignorant enough to still buy in. Even if they’re being ripped off.

"People are pirating our content instead of paying our overpriced prices what do we do?'

"Raise the prices even higher so the ones who are around make up for those we lost!"

"But arent more people just gonna start pirating?"

"Raise it even higher then"

"What about when it gets so high nobody pays for it?"

"Youre fired for thinking too much about the future, its all about that instant short term money here"

Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol.
Leave it to the sea breeze, leave it to the waves
On the other side of the tide, the setting sun also makes noise
The song of birds spinning in the sky
Goodbye, port, Tsumugi no Sato
Let's sing with Don, the song of departure
The gold waves and silver waves have also been replaced with spray
Let's go, as far as the sea goes
I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol.
We are pirates, we will break the sea
With the waves as my pillow, my bed is like a ship
The sails and flags are kicked up by skulls
A storm has come, in the thousand-mile sky
The waves are dancing, the drums are beating
If you are blown by the eructating wind, it will be the end.
There will be no sunrise tomorrow
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol.
An evening dream of today or tomorrow
I can't see the shadow waving my hand anymore
What should I worry about? Tomorrow will also be a moonlit night
I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol.
Let's sing one song with Don, the song of the sea
No matter who you are, someday it's true.
Endless, aimless, funny story
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho
Yohohoho yohohoho

Yar har, fiddle de dee
Being a pirate is alright to be
Do what you want ’cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate!

[bulborb]

it's always ironic to me how when Netflix first came out, pirating things dropped down significantly, but once more streaming services came in, pirating shot right back up again, it's a never ending cycle at this point

[LlamaEdits]

As a Disney + price I can confirm that I am higher than Snoop Dogg

[redeye]

I miss blockbuster. You could rent a movie, a game for your platform of choice, buy Pokemon cards, and get candy, popcorn, and a drink at checkout. If you were late on your return, the fee was like a few cents.
We lost all that because people didn't want to go outside and couldn't be bothered with a couple quarters for being late.

[brodudeguy]

"and if you dont know what blockbuster is.." dude really knows his audience

[Jayjordano]

Buying physical media is objectively the better option

[EvolutionDataOptimized]

I still can’t fathom what logic these companies have to do this. They have so many unrealistic expectations and answers.

[ToasterTheLad]

0:34 fun fact: if you had all these subscriptions on a monthly renew, it'd cost you $99.50 every month

[rBoxYT]

Ironicly they're more expensive than cable, the whole reason they were made.

[abbycollins]

The only thing Disney+ doesn’t own is Doctor Who, the BBC still owns it and Disney just partly funds them for producing the newer seasons, but the problem is they paid for exclusive rights to show it outside of the UK, to the point where the original UK broadcasts happen a day *after* Disney+ despite the UK not having Doctor Who on Disney+. They have to wait a day to get it live and on iPlayer, and it’s a part of the contract from what I can tell. I think it’s a pure money making strategy because why would they make that clause unless it was to make a crap ton of money on USA customers who can’t just look at the UK broadcast, even at the cost of the UK not being able to have their flagship multi million dollar show first run anymore, with risks of spoilers abound, no less

Keep in mind: DOCTOR WHO IS BBCS FLAGSHIP SHOW. ITS THEIR MASCOT AT THIS POINT. IT CONSTANTLY BREAKS VIEWERSHIP RECORDS AND IS AS MUCH A PART OF BRITISH CULTURE AS BIG BEN. if I wasn’t so hell-bent on supporting the actors and producers of the show, I’d totally do a yo-ho right now

[WithLs]

The strat is to only subscribe for like a month at a time when there’s something on there that you want to watch
