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.

I had no idea they charged 80/mo....now upping that??? looooool. I always thought the new subscription services were between 10 & 15....we've been on the high seas for a long time I guess.

Why do we care about this on a piracy community? I never cared about prices and fees I don't have to pay for anyway! Tough luck for those of you how sub to Disney.

I mean, seriously, who is still watching this streaming stuff? I mean I've heard there are still DVD renting stores somewhere... It'll die eventually and they know it, they just wanna extract as much as possible from the rotting corpse & the worst is: they'll get it.

The amazing thing is anyone ever paid to stream Disney..Disney adults are creepy and the corporation itself appears to be a child grooming & trafficking operation.

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.
