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.

Well, when the price increases by ~75% and the value does not increase by ~75%, this sentiment isn't exactly surprising.

Maybe 75% down was never sustainable and they wanted to build a userbase? Try to think buddy

Maybe the question should be why the service was only just worth it at 75% down then

We aren't. That's what we said- the value proposition isn't there
