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.

    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.

    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.
