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.

Never had Disnkey, so this is more about Netflix. Back at the beginning, I didn't mind paying a fair price for a service that made discovery and streaming easy and convenient. Plus subscriptions going to fund more interesting content? Amazing! Yeah, it's a bit of platform capitalism, but the fees were reasonable and they spread the wealth in a way I agreed with.

I'm still not against a service that keeps its fees reasonable for what it's providing.
