Four additional curated playlists are set to come out later this year with seasonal content, "Epic Stories" from franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, "Throwbacks" with nostalgic pop culture content, and "Real Life" with documentaries and biopics.

Disney plans to implement the pricing increases on Thursday, October 17. Disney said in its blog post that its subscription plans "remain among the best values in streaming today."

They keep wondering why they're losing subscribers, yet keep raising prices. Do they not see the connection?

Doubling in price since 2019 is way faster than even the high inflation we've had these past couple years. It's absurd.

Keep penny'ing us to death, I'll keep streamlining down and leaning on my Mac mini Plex server ?. Down to just Disney+ for the kiddos and HBO Max for wife and I.

I've hopped on and off AppleTV+, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, Hulu and others on a monthly basis as needed. But I cancel without apology. I subscribe and drop with zero loyalty for the cause.

I currently have Peacock for the Olympics this month. I'll be gone by September until there's a new season of Poker Face.

double dipping by raising the prices on the ad supported plans. Sounds about right. Someone needs to pay for those 3 vacation homes and 2 yachts of the higher ups...
