Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.
Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
What the fuck math are you people doing? It went up from $110/year to 140/year. That's a 20% increase. Still shit....but where in the fuck are you people getting a 75% increase? Just fucking google it and you'll see that OP is completely wrong...
I paid $ 79.99 less than a year ago. If they hiked it from 80 to 110, then hiked it again in less than a year that makes their practice even worse. They saw no dip in users so they thought they could go back for another bend over the bar.
See my edited post to see proof.
OP paid $80 for a yearly subscription, not $110.
They raised the price a year ago too. I suspect OP is like me and paid for a year right before last year's increase.
I paid $80 last year. I've got another month before it expires and it would then be $140. If they have raised the price in multiple increments throughout the year doesn't change the fact that it's 75% more expensive for people renewing over last years price.
Whatever, 20% or 75% price increase still is the same $0 increase a year because you wouldn't give your money to Disney
I was paying 69.99/year, that's the math I'm using. Don't know how you got such a bad deal.
I had to go double check what I'm paying. £96 for the middle tier (1080 not 4k I think), this is approx $116... So sounds like you guys were previously on a better deal (assuming same library access)
You can't compare been regions. Most outside of the US get a way more extensive library.
If you look at what OP posted they were paying only $80, which means they raised to $110 so recently that OP hadn't even gotten that price increase before they raised it again.

My post is objectively true for the year-over-year pricing. See my post edit for proof.
Because the service is now 75% more expensive than what it cost when introduced only four years ago.
Then OP should have said that. OP is making it sound like the latest price hike is 75%. That is misleading.
See my post edit.
Nah
I've lost complete hope for the internet because of this kind of shit. It's appalling
I'm just curious, did you downvote me for some reason? Or was that another onlooker?
did i hit a nerve with disney adults, or something?
No but FreeBSD better
I have been using Sync for 6 years now. Sync for Lemmy's look & feel has no difference from the late Sync for Reddit.
I migrated to Lemmy during fuck u/spez and i genuinely completely forget that this is not Reddit, specially after comment chains like this.
Lemmys users have the same habits as redditors. The same jokes are recycled here for upvotes too. It's the same site but upvote numbers are divided by 50
OP failed at math. Thought same thing was I checked for pricing myself.
Check my edit. I was billed $80 less than a year ago.
