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.

    Netflix, Amazon, and Disney have all upped their prices. Most people have more than 1 streaming service. It’s not that they can’t live without them all or this takes food out of their mouths, they just are questioning the value. That’s how pricing services works.

    No one is crying or upset about this in any meaningful way. People are just going “is this worth it?” and rightfully so. I don’t get this tendency to paint people having that debate as entitled or confused about money or whatever.

      The original post here uses words like “gouging” and “raking”, so this didn’t start out as a calm discussion of opportunity cost.

      The post you’re replying to is kind of condescending, so all in all this is probably not the best content we’ll see all day.
