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.
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.
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.
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)
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.

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.

My post is objectively true for the year-over-year pricing. See my post edit for proof.
Whatever, 20% or 75% price increase still is the same $0 increase a year because you wouldn’t give your money to Disney

OP paid $80 for a yearly subscription, not $110.

I was paying 69.99/year, that’s the math I’m using. Don’t know how you got such a bad deal.

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.
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.

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.

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.
