Love positive news like this.

Do they mean 1.3 Million subscribers dropped Disney+ ?

If that's what they meant, english would actually let them say that.

I wouldn’t have necessarily minded a price hike, at least not enough to drop D+ over it. It was the shitty writing that made me drop it, specifically Secret Invasion. That was the shitshow that made me go, “I’m done being angry at stupid, lazy-ass writing, I’m walking away.” And I’ve been fine. I haven’t even felt the need to pirate anything, I just don’t care anymore at this point.

I can hear the groans and cries on the docks ..... YAHHARR!! ARGGGGG!! AYE MATIES!!!!! YAHAAR!!! YAHAR!!! ARGGGGHH!!! YAHAAR!!!

I’ve shared it with my very young nieces and nephews for a few years. We do Simpsons and Star Wars, they do everything else. Now that Disney is pulling a Netflix, I don’t see a reason to double my cost for probably less viewing. For the price of a year’s sub, I can get a lot of movies or box sets. Over the years, I can get even more and never worry about losing access. Assuming Disney continues to raise prices, I can probably buy more and more for the sub price (although buying power will also drop). I can never share my access with my family any more. I can share box sets. Guess which one makes my nieces and nephews happy when they come visit.

When greed backfires it’s glorious! Plus the more streaming services pop up, the more people will pirate; we’ve regressed back into the cable TV era all because the suits are greedy bastards and deserve to lose every subscriber.

They said it themselves, "yo-ho, altogether, hoist the colors high."

I am one if the 1.3 M. I not gonna pay 80 bucks per year to watch Grogu.

That's funny, I dropped them last week right before they announced the price hike because I own everything I want to watch and now that I have my OTA DVR set up I don't need Hulu so I said "see ya round like a big old doughnut."

It's getting ridiculous. I am starting to consider dropping Prime. I don't need free shipping that bad and I don't even watch anything on it anymore. And when I do want to watch something I have to watch ads!? Yeah....

Yarrr me hearties! It be time to raise the Jolly Rodger!

I was paying for a year at a pop. After the price hike, I was going to cancel entirely. It just happened to coincide with the shitty Disney/hulu ad price. Which got my kids off my back for not having it and it’s only like 36 bucks for the year. If I feel inclined to watch something on those two then I watch on desktop and ad block the ads.

I'm calling it now:

Eventually these streamers are going to run out of runway, and they're already placing the blame on piracy. They're going to start pushing for more intense legal action against piracy and self-hosted options. Likely they'll push for broader enforcement of copyright and criminal charges, but i think they'll also litigate against plex and other self-hosted software and services as enabling/dealing in pirated content. Worst-case is that they start placing restrictions on VPN's and proxies, and they'll maybe couch it in a 'concern for national security'. FOSS has been having a moment the last couple years, but I'm very nervous about the attention their attracting.

I'm not sure what this will look like, but Netflix and others have already started putting out foreboding OP eds and statements addressing the market impact of pirating, and the digital media market sector is simply too big for legislators to ignore. The more companies like Disney and Netflix take on losses, the more pressure will be placed on legislators to act.

I still have a D+ account, and my parents have a Hulu account, we share with each other

The second the password sharing stops working both of us are canceling

I'm sure the strength of Disney's back catalog will more than make up for picking fights with the talent that create their new content while simultaneously breaking their mobile app experience with DRM and buggy software that drives their paying customers to learn about piracy.

Supply and demand, bitches!

In my country the price increased like 400%. I don't see anyone will continue to subscribe

Yup, I cancelled my D+ account, but not over the price hike. I cancelled it because I only care about Disney/Pixar/old Fox shows, and I already own all of those shows and movies physically now. The Marvel shows are absolute fucking trash, and Star Wars has been utterly murdered by the mouse. Aint nothing left for me on D+ so buh bye.

Good.
