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.

Going to be honest, I don't really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.

Yeah anything under 1080p is unwatchable on 50"+ screens.

Kept all mine, turned it into a Plex server w/o pirating, laughing in no monthly subs. Plus charity shops sell blurays for barely anything.

Damn, sad you're this smug while also thinking you're smart for having physical media.

Free streaming sites never went away.
