Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to allow advertising before and after movies and shows across every subscription tier. The change quietly ends completely ad-free streaming on the platform, even for those paying top dollar.

That includes the Premium plan, which costs $18.99 a month and was originally sold on the promise of an uninterrupted viewing experience.

Subscribers now face an on-screen prompt when logging in, requiring them to actively accept the updated terms before they can keep watching.

Corporate enshittification accelerates and Disney is leading the way.

They're really speedrunning it. Alas, I expected nothing less.

See ye on the high seas, matey! Arrr.

Some republican politicians are actually trying to push a legislation to require ISPs and VPN providers and whatever to block “foreign pirating sites”. I know there will always be a way for those who know what they’re doing, but they’re squeezing people little by little into having to pay these subscriptions no matter what companies do. I’ll personally just quit watching tv altogether if I had no choice but to pay these fuckers. I have zero subscriptions and I’d like to keep it that way.

My public library still checks out DVDs. Some titles are blu-rays even. Get an optical drive and rip away. For free.

My owned library is thousands of libraries. I'm with you, I'm checking out of current media if they want me to watch ads.

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!

[–] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I remember physical VHS and DVDs also had a lot of advertisement back in the day. Self marketing for different movies, releases etc

[–] DegradationDenial@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At least with VHS you could fast forward past the FBI notice and ads. Unskippable DVD ads was why I never thought badly about torrents.

I stopped paying for D+ when they doubled their price within a year. Guess I'll continue torrenting.

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

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

You probably will keep most, yeah. People are suckers and will put up with nearly anything. Plus the lost revenue from people unsubscribing will be offset by the additional income from the ads. You can expect that to already be priced in.

Allows is doing a lot of heavy lifting

The are deliberately adding ads

[–] KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I would probably get this fact checked asap because I found this posted over two hours ago when I was checking over in the Disney+ Subreddit to see if anything is being said there about this.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Created by a Disney mod as a locked post. They would certainly have an incentive to be less than honest about ads coming to premium tiers.

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.

[–] drsaxoncrawfish@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

Not on Kodi it doesn't :)

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've been holding out a long time. I will pay what it takes to access content I want to see and avoid ads. I want money to make it to the artists. But if there is no option to avoid ads, then I will not pay for your service anymore. I would imagine many others feel the same way. Seems like a very foolish decision.

In the UK we have had Sky Television for decades. Its a paid for subscription service, but ALL of its channels have adverts and has done since its inception. I don't understand why people are so surpised that ads are now appearing in paid for subscription based TV apps, it was a matter of time. It sucks, but you know, there are ways around 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.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah. All the companies seem to think that ads for their own products don’t count as ads. Same with all these ad free mobile games…. 99% of them show ads for in game purchases.

I think that the bullshit mental gymnastics that they all went through to allow them to do that was to call them promotions, not ads.

Lmao. Like really. I could never have ever paid for the Disney channel, that itself is too close to an ad to begin with.

And now they are going to fuck with their base, the people who love their brand. They probably wont even blink.

And no I am not talking about the casuals, I an talking the top teir plan who worship the mouse.

Fuck Disney, always been shit, nothing was worth paying them money.

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.
