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.

I wonder what's gonna happen when people stop paying for these streaming platforms when its obvious the juice isn't worth the squeeze?

We'll they're screwed because they can't drop the cost to fix it. If they drop the price their revenue immediately dips by the same amount.

Yep, it's a vicious circle. We are seeing the streaming services literally eating themselves for (very) short term profit.
