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.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

Because different people like dofferent things and all "art" is subjective. You are not an immutable objective font or source of truth. Therefore, whilst you might believe it's shit, any many will agree. You are simultaneously correct and incorrect in your assessment.

Or in short.

Not everyone likes what you like, so they pay for disney if thats what makes them happy.

If that's how you judge Disney+ I guess you say the same of all streaming services except the Criterion channel?
