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.

typically ready to watch in under 15min.

Lol ok

Unless all you ever watch is newly released mainstream media this is blatantly false. I have never ever encountered a streaming service with anything close to the range of media my cricle enjoys.

That's because you don't know where to look. I watched all of the original Doctor Who without any issues. It's not Netflix, lol.

That's the power of usenet. My downloads are limited by disk speed, not my connection. Didn't believe it myself until I had it running. I used to use torrents which were slow af.

That's because you don't know where to look.

Exactly the damn problem; you have to look for, depend on, and trust some other service to have it available to stream when you want to stream it.

I just throw names at my server whenever I happen to hear of something interesting to watch (often while I am at work) and it finds it for me. I can then watch and share it with as many people as I like without involving anyone or anything else whenever I want to.

/edit: for the record, I'm not the one downvoting you.
