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.

Eh. They deserve it.

Always funny seeing rubes be like "it's on this streaming service" or "I don't have that streaming service."

You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

All you need is uBlock Origin.

Seeing the discussion always center around paid streaming services just shows me how stupid the average person is these days. They're proud to pay more, for less. Lol. I guess that's why they're called useful idiots.

    Never had Disnkey, so this is more about Netflix. Back at the beginning, I didn't mind paying a fair price for a service that made discovery and streaming easy and convenient. Plus subscriptions going to fund more interesting content? Amazing! Yeah, it's a bit of platform capitalism, but the fees were reasonable and they spread the wealth in a way I agreed with.

    I'm still not against a service that keeps its fees reasonable for what it's providing.

    Lol, what?

    For convenience and price, you simply can't beat free streaming sites.

    He's right, downloading gets you better encodes that prioritize quality over getting the smallest possible file to keep upload totals down.

    But yeah you're also right, for 99% of people avoiding downloads is the right move.

    Let people be stupid. Don't share the link openly... fm0vi35 is already too good to be true. If people start canceling subscriptions for it, it will be a target to take down.
