lol good luck with that. An increased percentage of my cancelled subscription is $0.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Yes. I will need to update my budget, as well.

How many zeroes should I add after the first one....

Perhaps I'll list it as $0.000 this month, for a fun change.

Reached by Variety, a rep for Disney declined to provide additional comment on the price hikes. It’s the third time in three years Disney is raising the prices of the streaming services in the U.S., after price hikes for Disney+ and Hulu in October 2024 and in October 2023. Disney provided notifications of the latest price hikes Tuesday on its customers support sites.

So, they're just doing it every October?

And they were too money hungry to push it back a month or so this year to see if they can get any back?

Whoever runs as a D for president next needs to be a monopoly buster.

Like, at this point can we just get some dude from an FDR museum and tell him to just donate four year commitment?

We need his entire platform again, because neoliberal baby boomers fucked everyone over.

Just remember, a seedbox or VPN is a lot cheaper than a single streaming subscription.
