I subscribe to one streaming service per month.
For example, I would subscribe to Netflix for 30 days and then cancel and subscribe to Disney+, then cancel that and move on to the next streaming service.

Was just about to post the same. Actually, I've already cancelled. Nov 23rd I think is my last day.
If my kids want to watch a classic disney movie, off to ebay we go.
Yes, it's going up to $109.99/year.
These price hikes make the decision to cancel under used streaming services even easier.
Buying them used on ebay ensures none of this goes to their corporation, sans a little but of demand increase
eBay is a Blu-Ray collector’s best friend…
I’d say that the fact that you didn’t use clapping hand emojis makes it more valid! I legit can’t take the clapping hands emojis seriously anymore, it’s like “it’s gotta be sarcasm, right? Who even uses them anymore to emphasize their message?!”
I paid 140 for three years when D+ launched. It's now almost that much for one year. Back to buying Ultraviolet codes.
It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? With the cost of living spiralling upwards, will we start to see a resurgence of BR. When streaming was a few quid a month it was an easy buy. Now those few quid are not so few and plenty of folks are turning off…. Some may well be heading back to DVDRip….
You're not alone but pay/ad hybrid models have been the norm for ages whether it be newspapers, magazines or cable/satellite television. I imagine the availablity of ad-supported streaming service plans will continue to grow.
I see this as simply giving people more choices. In this case, someone can go with the Disney+ ad-free plan for $10.99/month or go with an ad-supported plan and save $3/month. Or don't subscribe at all. Something for everybody.
Unfortunately have a six month old, so might be stuck with the Disney tax for a while!
I’d rather DVD myself. Quality isn’t as good, but it’s a heckuva lot easier to rip than Blu-Ray, easier to author, and easier to play back, as long as optical drives remain a thing.
Ever look at the cable rebroadcasting fee and sports fee, together that increases your bill $40. Realistically this sVOD will become more valuable when Hulu expires and a lot of content shifts to where it belongs such as all the Fox content to Disney +.

Looks like it's goodbye Disney+ after my year is up. Disney+ will be $109.99 annually, up 37.5%. Besides, if Apple gets NFL games, my money will go there.
More than happy to pay $10.99. Still a value with all the content that Disney+ has that we enjoy. We are a family with 2 young children, but I probably watch more on Disney+ than they do.
I might be wrong, but I think this can inspire people to pirate content.

Hulu within the bundle is already the “with ads” version.
That said, I hardly watch Disney+ so it will only bug me when I watch the occasional film.
is is my question. I have this on one of my lines and the monthly Travel Pass on the other to maximize our “freebies”.

My solution to this was to rip each one to a file on my computer and play them that way. I don’t have a 4K tv yet so resolution hasn’t been an issue. Maybe someday in the future I’ll want to get higher res versions but I doubt it. I just need to buy more/faster storage before my current storage crashes.
better just buy and watch in iTunes. That’s the way Steve Jobs envisioned and it makes more sense money wise
Time to buy Heavyweights outright on Amazon Prime and cancel Disney+.
