Mildly Infuriating

WE HAVE ALTERED THE AGREEMENT

PRAY WE DO NOT ALTER IT FURTHER

[heavy breathing]

Corporate enshittification accelerates and Disney is leading the way.

See ye on the high seas, matey! Arrr.

Allows is doing a lot of heavy lifting

The are deliberately adding ads

Remember that if you sign up for Disney+, you waive the right to sue them if they kill you at one of their restaurants.

If I see an ad it’s over. I pay so I can feign being free of ad bullshit subconsciously.

Imagine if people just stopped paying these companies. I guarantee you that most people have more entertainment than they can consume in their lifetime. They just want to have everything and these companies know it.

"Ad-free" has always been bullshit because every steamer runs ads for their own content at the start/end of everything and has giant "WATCH NEXT" "COMING SOON" "TRENDING NOW" banners on every screen.

My jellyfin server doesn't have ads

Was only using Disney and pirated the rest. Now we will be pirating every damn thing just like I did 20 years ago. Fuck any service that will not give you the option to pay for ad free.

Imagine paying to see ads. That has got to be the ultimate cuckoldry.

Yeaaahhh. That's how you keep customers isn't it?

I am told that back in ancient times people survived somehow with very few viewing options. They listened to radio, read books, magazines and newspapers and such for entertainment and information. Sometimes they talked to each other in person or on a phone. Sounds a little crazy but I might give some of these a try. Personal media streaming is an interesting bypass I would like to explore as well.

It is not streaming and doesn’t address the advertising part of the conversation but if you are lucky enough to be able to set up a good antenna appropriately placed, over the air (OTA) may be an option for some for some television. Location is a constraining factor.

I don’t object to paying a fair price for a service but I do object to “let’s take you for as much as we can possibly get”.

Do they still get to kill your spouse if you sign up?

Disney says man can't sue over wife's death because he agreed to Disney+ terms of service

If I were a Disney+ subscriber, I would issue a chargeback every bill, stating that I am not getting the service I agreed to, until they dropped me as a customer.

Also, 🏴‍☠️

I'm on duo for Disney and Hulu. Didn't get any prompt when logging in just now, but ads are an instant cancel.

Never enough profit, huh?

I think there are people who still buy cable. As a non cable person I remember being amazed a decade or so ago when I saw what was mostly on. reality shows with more commercials than free over the air tv. and people pay for that. nuts.

Oh excellent, an excuse to drop it that my fiance will have to accept.

🏴‍☠️

Did You know that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day?

And you just know the normies will keep paying

Cancel it, you'll be okay.

🏴‍☠️

Already long gone. All streaming services are terrible value now. They all got too greedy.

Guys, we live in a dystopian world. Such bullshit! Most everything about society is dystopian. I don't think there is any redeeming quality to the fuckers that are in charge of it all.

Fuck all these streaming service. I want Stremio, with the ability to pay a little directly to the creators of the things I watch. We need to break this system and replace it by something fair for the artists and creators, not to a fucking corporation that will give them pennies. People are willing to pay an amount for the media they consume, we just need to redirect the money to right people.until then stremio all the way.

I feel scammed.

I always bought DVDs to avoid ads and that was nice, then they made streaming more affordable and convenient.

Then they quietly dropped releasing streaming shows on physical media and now it’s more expensive and has ads.

You tricked me!

Sounds like a class action lawsuit based on false promises is in order

Ah the classic enshifitied double dip. "Yes, you're paying us.. but we want more money, and these guys will give us lots to advertise to you, So fuck you and behave"

Can't wait to hear from the crowd that said it was fine when they introduced an ad tier because they still had a non-ad tier. Despite everyone that has seen how this always goes before telling them it was only a matter of time before legally watching Disney owned content was going to mean paying a substantial monthly fee and having to sit through ads.

Let this be a lesson everyone that said that. Once they build the mechanism to have the ads, they will not be able to resist turning up the dial for the easy ad money.

Disney should be aware that they are a big corporation with a lot of well-known output.

Well-known enough that it will still have a lot of seeders many years after release.

You know there are tons of terrible news stories that affect us and we can’t do anything about it.

Then there is stuff like this that just makes me feel great about my choices, ahhhhhh, so satisfying to see.

New super premium plans will now be rolling out for 29.99 with guaranteed no ads
