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 think they are just showing another example of steaming services being shitty, and using it to advocate for piracy

          That’s a singular product not a service. You might get an interesting debate by posting about something like the Xbox Game Pass vs pirating a bunch of games.

      Is this submission a direct link to Disney Plus on your app? I see an email saying they’re raising their prices by an outrageous amount and making piracy look better.

          Why are you even slightly surprised that a piracy community would be advocating for pirating content? You gonna go to a furries community next and complain about all the fur?

          No. The question is what you think this submission is because your read of it above is so inane, it’s like you saw something different entirely.
