Disney and Hulu raising prices again
Is now really the time to be doing this? I guess they are hoping people will be desperate for stuff they haven’t already watched when the programming dries up from the strikes.
Also, almost $20 a month for Hulu? Get real.
Looks like it's time to sail the high seas. Ahoy mates
That’s my secret Captain, I never stopped sailing…
I just fired up Tdarr and already squeezed 2TB out of my movies and I'm only half way through. TV shows should net me the same if not more. Lots of room without even buying new storage.
Disney+ ain't worth $10 a month, much less $14. Guess I'm going to be saving some money when I cancel. What these streaming companies don't understand it that we have lots of them because they're cheap. If you raise the prices of all of them then we'll just choose one of two and they're all going to be less profitable.
Yea for sure, however if they went from a user paying from $5 into $10, and then later $10 to now $20, now they just need 1 user for the price of many.
Also, despite a short-term wave of rage-drops from their service, they know they’ll eventually get a new wave of users later on who never knew anything different and the cycle continues.
Of course they do this incrementally so they don’t lose out too much of their base, but all of the services are going up. It’s going to continue to happen and probably quicker than some people realize. It’s happening everywhere
It could backfire when they themselves run out of new content. Charging a premium for older content seems like a poor business decision.
I guess when you keep putting out garbage movies that are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, you need to make it up somewhere
Idk The Bear is very good. Might be worth it.
Maybe for a month, then cancel… but also 🏴☠️
This is why they're starting to release episodes for shows one at a time, slowly.
For that money, Disney should be like Carmy's restaurant: I should have Disney executives loitering in my back garden, ready to overhear my random mutterings about what I'd like to see on telly, and then go back and do everything in their power to make it happen.
