Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

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.

I wonder what's gonna happen when people stop paying for these streaming platforms when its obvious the juice isn't worth the squeeze?
- We'll they're screwed because they can't drop the cost to fix it. If they drop the price their revenue immediately dips by the same amount.
  
  Yep, it's a vicious circle. We are seeing the streaming services literally eating themselves for (very) short term profit.
