Going to get the Hulu + Disney bundle. They don't make it simple to get it though unless the ad free versions really are just not available anymore...

Yeah and this time it is up before my annual plan expires so I cant renew at the old rate.

i will let it lapse and see if there is a come back offer or a cheap add on if they have the Hulu Black Friday deal again this year.

May just go to ESPN+ only, then cancel it after hockey season.

I haven't look at Hulu in a long time, I don't even know what they offer. I had something that gave me a free Hulu sub, maybe it is part of Disney, I can't remember, but I went to check it out and saw that Hulu had additional subs for various channels and fucked right out of there.

I don't want to pay for any more fucking subs :(

I've got Amazon Prime Video, although this is mostly just for the free shipping to Alaska, video is just a bonus to me. Netflix and Disney+.

This seems like a really bad idea that will cost them money. A lot of people who let their subscriptions run will probably decide to cancel and then only subscribe for a single month when there are some things they want to binge watch.

Fun fact: chrystia freeland, the canadian minister of finance, once gave canadians advice on spending. She told us to cancel our disney plus subscriptions.

She also told us to sell our cars and take public transit. She doesn't even own a car! She takes the train! (She was charged for speeding a few months later)

I don't even know if it's worth it for Loki, anymore.

I'm not paying to watch ads. Live sports only gets away with it because the alternative is looking at a "commercial break in progress" screen every time there's a break.

I mean theres plenty on Hulu. It gets confusing since they also have the live Tv version for people who dont have cable, I have the ad version for $2 a month,

For anime, its where the new season of Bleach is.

They have shows like Letterkenny, The Bear, This Fool, Only Murders in the Building, The Great, Reservation Dogs. Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and What we do in the Shadows.

Because it will fold into Disney + most likely. Cannot offer those FX/Hulu shows for free because people would never want to pay for them.

Disney is supposed (have to?) to buy out Comcasts portion of Hulu this year but I think they may have to go to arbitration since they are far away on price. It would then fold into Disney like it is outside the US (although they put the content under a channel called Star).

Do like Crackle, and go absolutely apeshit with laggy ads.
I bought the complete Thunderbirds, because Crackle was too much of an ordeal (and I didn't know it was also on Tubi)

Price raises should have been expected from the start. There's no way it's original price tag would have been sustainable at all.

The endless need for "original content" is jacking up the costs.
There's a reason "back catalogue" streamers like Crackle, Freevee, and Tubi can sustain on just running that same Doritos ad three times in a row.

There's no details about it, and every article claiming otherwise is bullshitting and/or admitting that there's no details.

Because Disney+ has been bleeding money the entire time. Streaming is unsustainable, especially since they've cut down significantly this year and the strikes mean very little upcoming.

They're definitely doing season 4. It's already been written. They also said it's supposed to be the midway point for Mando. We got A LOT more Mando stuff on the way.

But it's not. It was never going to stay that cheap. You can't make the kinds of shows they are (though I do think they need to get those budgets in check).

stop consuming that Disney+ crap. They've been doing too much fast grab attempts with Marvel and SW at some point we have to go back and establish this ish can't canon. It wasn't built on true artistic inspiration. It was built on moving product and business. Now look at you. Another price hike, but you've already been a victim for years eating it all up already. You're a mess.
