No, I just know how business works.

And that being "upset" over $3/month will take more of a toll on your health than your pocketbook.

(It was underpriced in the first place.)

When they launched, I got locked in with their uber cheap rate for 3 years.

This is what I did. They had a special when they launched (November 2019) that if you prepaid for two years at their annual subscription rate, you got the third year free.

I wasn't going to renew for this 4th year but I decided that it was better to re-up at another annual subscription rate at the November 2022 rate then cancel and then start it up again later because it had been announced earlier this fall rates were going to go up, plus they were doing the commercial tier.



And everyone should just think about how their $3 is going to ESPN/DIsney to help pay for the SEC TV contract so that we can watch A&M football disappoint us.

Yes, so you've said.

I, personally, have found your patronizing tone and repeating of this same statement to be very persuasive. You have convinced me that you are, in fact, correct, and that we should all accept any $3.00 or less increase in services with a smile on our face.

If it's only $3/month and you're rich, go ahead and pay my cost.
I can start Venmo requests in January.

No? Lolpoor.

Meh... I cancelled my sub after I saw the first episode of She-Hulk. Haven't missed it.

I may renew as soon as the last episode of The Mandalorian Season 3 for 1 month, but Disney has done enough to lose me on everything else.

If you aren't watching Andor, you're missing out.

Also, is $3 for what was a grossly underpriced product give. the full Disney catalog that big of a deal?

if they price hike and numbers stay the same or go up, guess what, more price hikes in the future.

if they price hike and people cancel, well that sends a better message.

ftr, i'm not cancelling because I need to see the Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special

Post your Venmo and I'll send you $3 if you're that upset/in need.

Wouldn't want your kids to be without their streaming service over the Christmas break.

So you canceled it because something in She-Hulk bothered you enough to cancel?

I mean you could always just not watch that show?

You're honestly missing out with Andor.

Apparently it was underpriced in the first place.

So you should be happy to pay more, because it was underpriced in the first place.

Even if it goes up by $30 a month, it's okay because it was underpriced in the first place.

I cancelled because the quality of all the media was bad. She-Hulk was just the last bad thing I saw where I didn't even think it was worth paying anything for the service. Don't know why it bothers so many of you.

This thread sound like a lot of bitter dads who know they have to pay more now for a service they know their kids can't do without.

The only thing that bothers me is missing out on Andor. The best genre show this year.

I get Disney+ for free and I'm not sure why. I'm thinking maybe it was a promotional thing with Verizon and it just never got turned off. It's been a few years. I don't really watch it though, but check every now and then and it still works.

That is 3 dollars I can put towards my gummies come February
I am assuming it will be more for the casual user than those who use it for medicine.

I mean, I already have my medical card, but I won't have to carry it with me starting next February

I'd pay $30 a month for D+ without blinking an eye.

You may get your wish if the business keeps losing $1.5 billion every quarter.

Nah, the only show that's ever been must-see TV on D+ is Andor, and one show alone isn't worth $30/month.

I'm not posting financial transaction information (or any personal identifiable information) on a public message board. You're a real smart guy with money so I think you can understand that.

But my email is aggiearchitect04@gmail.com. Shoot me an email and we can set this up.

Unlimited access to every SW and Marvel movie, all the Disney movies and shows for my kids, all the incredible stuff from National Geographic, my daughter and I are watching the SImpsons from the very beginning, and on and on and on.

This is how I look at it. To buy or rent all of the content so my kids can watch it would be way more than what I'm ultimately paying for D+. There will come a point where we don't use it as much at which time I'll cancel and only subscribe when there's something new I want to watch, but I don't think that will happen for a few years.

Send him $36 to cover the year. You seem like a swell guy that would gladly do that.

Mine just renewed for $80 a year for the one without commercials. Try seeing if you can renew at that rate.

Speaking of Disney+ all my Amazon devices are giving me an error 83. Fire sticks and Amazon tablets.

Cell phone app is fine. I have rebooted uninstalled reinstalled and defaulted back to factory settings on all my devices but still error 83. Has anyone had similar experience?

If you need help finding $3 a month in your budget, I'd be glad to help.


The problem is when everything and everyone goes up 15-30%. It's not just $3/mth for Disney+, it's +30% across the board.

Yeah, I get what you two are saying. My son is 13 now, so for the most part beyond D+ being a must-have. 5 years or so ago, it'd be a different story.

I don't think people would be so angry about this if they didn't view it as a must have streaming platform. They know they use it all the time for kids so they are annoyed the price has gone up.

There are two things in my house I can't get rid of between Disney and Netflix. Cable and everything else I cancel at times but those two remain constant.

While being annoyed at it, it's obviously still easily worth it for me. I wouldn't even question it until 15-20 per month.

Even with no kids it's worth it to me for natgeo, Star Wars, marvel. And the simpsons

The problem is people do view it as a must have. It's not.

No kidding. Belongs on the general board (I assume. Haven't ventured there in years).
