Will It Ever Be Enough? Disney is Raising Prices Days After Confirming Ads Will Now Show Up on Every Tier, Even the One You Paid to Avoid Them

Disney+ is conspicuously absent from that list, which is worth highlighting given the streamer’s size and the fact that it has aired shows like Percy Jackson and Daredevil: Born Again.

      Sometimes it “escapes containment” but it’s all part of the game.

      The price for Disney+ through my Plex has stayed remarkably stable and ad free.

        I wish Plex wasn’t obviously trying to kill off everything good, word is they laid off everyone handling Plex Desktop.

    It must be so easy to be a CEO…

    Hmm if only there was some way to prevent companies from having so much power over a market that they can control the price. There’s gotta be a name for that.

        They already call people who make copies of media, pirates. They’re basically just asking for it.

      Just drop the subs. Call it the November challenge. You have to find some screen free way to entertain yourself for the month.

      ETA: it’s not as difficult as you may think.

    I wonder what the profit margins on streaming services are? I mean bandwidth is pretty cheap in this day and age, so it’s gotta be astronomically profitable.

    Asking for a friend, is Mullvad sufficient to pirate “safely enough” ? I’m tired of paying these pedo-enabling and fascist billionaires and corporations.

      Ironic to choose Mullvad when talking about not enabling fascists

          I’ve heard good things about airvpn, now we just sit back and wait for someone to tell us why we shouldn’t use it.

          I’m still on mullvad because I paid for a full year a while back and it hasn’t expired yet, but I’ll probably switch to airvpn in a couple of months.

      Find the cheapest VPN that you can find that allows port forwarding, your threat model for torrenting is probably totally different to regular web browsing. (Mullvad doesn’t allow port forwarding) (I use privatevpn which is mostly garbage but it works)

      Used it for years. No issue of notice. Sure you can’t port forward, but I don’t know what’s really needed for because I don’t seem to have any problem downloading things so never bothered investigating.

      I’ve had a good experience with Torguard. When I looked into Mullvad I found they didn’t support port forwarding (unless this has changed recently?).
