TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

      Yeah, and in cases where there is a monopoly or quasi-monopoly of a product it becomes really exploitative.

      But in this case in particular, I’m gonna have to say it’s the fault of the users.

      They chose to pay more for a worst product that had already been declining in quality steadily, when there are tons of other streaming services with good content.

        I guess that is the fault of not being aware of alternatives, or brand royalty.

        Average Users just want to be comfortable with watch they already have and don’t want to hassle to learn new habits.

        Disney simply chose to skip the voting and went straight to forbid password sharing. They are hoping for gaining new customers like Netflix .

      And that is why we need a new corporate contract where the betterment of its employees, communities and it’s services/products is a corporations goal not endless growth for the sake of profit.

        Unfortunately they are pushed by the investors to focus on generating profit for them.

        If I would give money to someone to make more money. I would expect more and more not less or a fix amount.
