TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

And that, people, is why I haven't watched a TV series in almost a decade

I'm wondering why they would think one would pay to (still) see ads or have a lower resolution stream.

I'm pirating since I want to have a copy I can use without an internet connection without weird compression, ads, or low resolution. And not even everything is released on blu-ray these days.

Jellyfin and torrent are my friends. I still occasionally visit cinemas for movies I really want to watch with super perks.

So what I've been seeing at youtube about Disney plus being in financial difficulty is not a conspiracy theory after all. I didn't watch any of these since I thought it was just popular to hate on Disney, and people were just jumping on the band wagon. Pretty they were just the doom and gloom brigade targeting Disney.

I already cancelled my Disney+ subscription earlier in the year. I'm just letting it ride out. After that, I will either do the subscription hopping thing where I only sub when something I want is airing, or just add Marvel stuff to my piracy rotation.

Coincidental after their earnings call, as their streaming portion posted narrow losses
