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.

What the fuck math are you people doing? It went up from $110/year to 140/year. That's a 20% increase. Still shit....but where in the fuck are you people getting a 75% increase? Just fucking google it and you'll see that OP is completely wrong...

    I paid $ 79.99 less than a year ago. If they hiked it from 80 to 110, then hiked it again in less than a year that makes their practice even worse. They saw no dip in users so they thought they could go back for another bend over the bar.

    See my edited post to see proof.

    I paid $80 last year. I've got another month before it expires and it would then be $140. If they have raised the price in multiple increments throughout the year doesn't change the fact that it's 75% more expensive for people renewing over last years price.

    Because the service is now 75% more expensive than what it cost when introduced only four years ago.

    Then OP should have said that. OP is making it sound like the latest price hike is 75%. That is misleading.

    I'm just curious, did you downvote me for some reason? Or was that another onlooker?

    I have been using Sync for 6 years now. Sync for Lemmy's look & feel has no difference from the late Sync for Reddit.

    I migrated to Lemmy during fuck u/spez and i genuinely completely forget that this is not Reddit, specially after comment chains like this.
