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.

in their defence they got that free 2-day shipping. I never watched Mickey Mouse Club when it was free

Do you want pirates? This is how you get pirates.

Ok, why is a paid service posted here?

Is this submission a direct link to Disney Plus on your app? I see an email saying they're raising their prices by an outrageous amount and making piracy look better.

Guess I got lucky that I get it free with my family phone plan.

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.

I love how $12/month is somehow "raking customers over the coals"

... You fuckin what.

I'm on some Disney Plus deal to get 3 months for 99 cents per month. You'd better believe the second the 3 months is up I'm cancelling again. Let's face it, the platform is kind of dogshit and while there is an occasional good show, most of the new content is dreck. A month a year is sufficient to catch up on anything worth watching.

For all of you that supported the actors and writers streik, this is what happens to the common person. Dont get me wrong im not blaming anyone but the asshole greedy companies, but just so you notice, when a company does something "good" they are not losing, they are taking the money from others.

Unsub'd. Fuck that noise, I really only use them for Simpsons reruns between movies I give a shit about. So now I'll steal the Simpsons and the movies. They overplayed their hand here.

Hm. Content on there is so lacking and we already use it so infrequently.... If I had to choose between this and Netflix, Netflix stays.
