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.

Going to be honest, I don't really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.

Yeah anything under 1080p is unwatchable on 50"+ screens.

Kept all mine, turned it into a Plex server w/o pirating, laughing in no monthly subs. Plus charity shops sell blurays for barely anything.

Damn, sad you're this smug while also thinking you're smart for having physical media.
