Disney+ Now Wants You to Pay to Share Your Account
Disney+ Now Wants You to Pay to Share Your Account
It's official: Disney is now asking you to pay to share your Disney+ account with other people. The company now offers an official way to pay for an extra user on your account. Per their rules, however, you can probably get around it.
And I thought Mickey Mouse was cute...
It's funny, when they announced their third price increase in as many months, it was the final motivation i needed to set up a NAS and Jellyfin. And because i have terabytes of storage, I downloaded the entire catalogue… of Linux distros. And I continue to seed them
This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I'm OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can't afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.
Does anyone have a dead simple tutorial/webpage to setup jellyfin? I always assume it needs a dedicated NAS and I'm not going to do that. I have spare laptops.

My Plex server does not care if I share it
Mine screams in pain, but that's just because it's chronically underpowered for multiple streams.
Disney and the rest of the streaming services can fuck off and welcome back piracy with their shenanigans.
Shame they're such greedy dumbasses that continue to kill the golden goose.
Netflix survived, now everyone else will follow
Come hoist the grog with us
☠️ sail the 7 seas. I'm not giving anything to Amazon.
We share all our streaming services and so far nothing has happened because we don't use smart televisions but only dumb monitors connected to PC/laptop. They can't figure us out. I don't think I will ever use a tv again, first because we do not watch live tv anymore, second because smart TVs spy on us and on top try to put ads on and other shite. A mini PC in the living room looks cute, can play anything including local data and they can't tell if accounts are shared.
Mickey is cute, but don't let that trick you, he'll slit your throat for a penny.
Just a reminder that if you don't like the way that the entertainment is presented, your best option is to ignore it. If you pirate it, you'll probably talk about it with others. That will lead to engagement, and in turn others will pay to see the content. If you ignore it, then the company gets nothing from you. If you truly want to punish these companies for policies you don't like, piracy isn't the answer, boycotting their product is.
Edit: The downvotes on this prove that you only pirate because you want shit for free, not to protest. You are the same as the looters during marches. You don't do what you do to make things better, you do it to get free shit. You are the reason we can't have nice things.
Not agreeing with you. We can't expect people to go on harsh penance to prove a point. Might as well take the easy way out.
Oh yeah, god forbid people miss some form of entertainment! Whatever will they do? If only there was INFINITE entertainment out there. The assumed need to consume is bullshit, and people that feel that they must have everything are sucking that fat capitalist teat harder than anyone else, regardless of if they pirate or not. When you start to pull back from the idea that you have to have it all, you realize how little of it you actually need, and then you can be selective with your content consumption.
Or you can keep watching Disney shows, bitching about how much you hate Disney shows, all while talking to friends and coworkers about Disney shows. Oh, you pirate it? You are still advertising for Disney. You're a goddamned billboard.
I just share my server saves my friends some cash and we get to talk about it
