WE HAVE ALTERED THE AGREEMENT

PRAY WE DO NOT ALTER IT FURTHER

[heavy breathing]

Corporate enshittification accelerates and Disney is leading the way.

See ye on the high seas, matey! Arrr.

Allows is doing a lot of heavy lifting

The are deliberately adding ads

Remember that if you sign up for Disney+, you waive the right to sue them if they kill you at one of their restaurants.

If I see an ad it’s over. I pay so I can feign being free of ad bullshit subconsciously.

Imagine if people just stopped paying these companies. I guarantee you that most people have more entertainment than they can consume in their lifetime. They just want to have everything and these companies know it.

"Ad-free" has always been bullshit because every steamer runs ads for their own content at the start/end of everything and has giant "WATCH NEXT" "COMING SOON" "TRENDING NOW" banners on every screen.

My jellyfin server doesn't have ads

Imagine paying to see ads. That has got to be the ultimate cuckoldry.

Was only using Disney and pirated the rest. Now we will be pirating every damn thing just like I did 20 years ago. Fuck any service that will not give you the option to pay for ad free.

Yeaaahhh. That's how you keep customers isn't it?

Do they still get to kill your spouse if you sign up?

Disney says man can't sue over wife's death because he agreed to Disney+ terms of service

I am told that back in ancient times people survived somehow with very few viewing options. They listened to radio, read books, magazines and newspapers and such for entertainment and information. Sometimes they talked to each other in person or on a phone. Sounds a little crazy but I might give some of these a try. Personal media streaming is an interesting bypass I would like to explore as well.

It is not streaming and doesn’t address the advertising part of the conversation but if you are lucky enough to be able to set up a good antenna appropriately placed, over the air (OTA) may be an option for some for some television. Location is a constraining factor.

I don’t object to paying a fair price for a service but I do object to “let’s take you for as much as we can possibly get”.

If I were a Disney+ subscriber, I would issue a chargeback every bill, stating that I am not getting the service I agreed to, until they dropped me as a customer.

Also, 🏴‍☠️

Never enough profit, huh?

🏴‍☠️

Cancel it, you'll be okay.

I'm on duo for Disney and Hulu. Didn't get any prompt when logging in just now, but ads are an instant cancel.

I think there are people who still buy cable. As a non cable person I remember being amazed a decade or so ago when I saw what was mostly on. reality shows with more commercials than free over the air tv. and people pay for that. nuts.

Oh excellent, an excuse to drop it that my fiance will have to accept.

🏴‍☠️

Did You know that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day?

Guys, we live in a dystopian world. Such bullshit! Most everything about society is dystopian. I don't think there is any redeeming quality to the fuckers that are in charge of it all.

Fuck all these streaming service. I want Stremio, with the ability to pay a little directly to the creators of the things I watch. We need to break this system and replace it by something fair for the artists and creators, not to a fucking corporation that will give them pennies. People are willing to pay an amount for the media they consume, we just need to redirect the money to right people.until then stremio all the way.

And you just know the normies will keep paying

Already long gone. All streaming services are terrible value now. They all got too greedy.

I feel scammed.

I always bought DVDs to avoid ads and that was nice, then they made streaming more affordable and convenient.

Then they quietly dropped releasing streaming shows on physical media and now it’s more expensive and has ads.

You tricked me!

Sounds like a class action lawsuit based on false promises is in order

Can't wait to hear from the crowd that said it was fine when they introduced an ad tier because they still had a non-ad tier. Despite everyone that has seen how this always goes before telling them it was only a matter of time before legally watching Disney owned content was going to mean paying a substantial monthly fee and having to sit through ads.

Let this be a lesson everyone that said that. Once they build the mechanism to have the ads, they will not be able to resist turning up the dial for the easy ad money.

Ah the classic enshifitied double dip. "Yes, you're paying us.. but we want more money, and these guys will give us lots to advertise to you, So fuck you and behave"

Disney should be aware that they are a big corporation with a lot of well-known output.

Well-known enough that it will still have a lot of seeders many years after release.

You know there are tons of terrible news stories that affect us and we can’t do anything about it.

Then there is stuff like this that just makes me feel great about my choices, ahhhhhh, so satisfying to see.

Capitalism is so old hat. Everyone knows they are being treated unfairly and we just sort of grimace and bare it. Enough already! Let's move on to a more enlightened phase of humanities progression. What's the next new thing? C'mon! In the words of a favourite american troubadour, "We don't have to say goodbye if we all go!".

New super premium plans will now be rolling out for 29.99 with guaranteed no ads

** terms and conditions apply, ads may still be show without warning, consult your doctor **

I stopped paying for D+ when they doubled their price within a year. Guess I'll continue torrenting.

Lmao. Like really. I could never have ever paid for the Disney channel, that itself is too close to an ad to begin with.

And now they are going to fuck with their base, the people who love their brand. They probably wont even blink.

And no I am not talking about the casuals, I an talking the top teir plan who worship the mouse.

Fuck Disney, always been shit, nothing was worth paying them money.

Yeah, screw this. Haven't been subscribed to Disney+ for a year now and I certainly won't return. If you have children, I guess you're fucked though.

What in the fuckety fuckfuck?

The constant rising tide of "oh, we're adding ads to your current tier, but here's a new ad-free upgrade option!" was bad enough. But "Actually no, you can't even pay for ad-free streaming if you want to. Gfys." is sooo fucked. What are they even thinking, from a business perspective, do they really believe they have their user base so locked in that they can get away with this? (Don't answer that; the sad truth is, they probably do believe so, and they're probably right...).

Also, that on-screen prompt better include an option for an immediate downgrade and/or pro-rated refund (it probably doesn't).

I kicked them to the curb a few years ago because the price increases wouldnt stop. If only I got pay raises as frequently as they raised them. Get fucked streaming services...

So, what's the point of paying for the premium plan? Do you get more content for it?

Fucking what? Well, cancel away and then Google the letters at the start of the words in this sentence:

Fucking Mouse, He's Yucky

Not on Kodi it doesn't :)

I would probably get this fact checked asap because I found this posted over two hours ago when I was checking over in the Disney+ Subreddit to see if anything is being said there about this.

Sail the seas 🏴‍☠️

You're gonna be force fed this shit everywhere all the time until you fuckin' buy something and then it's on to the next one

Gotta watch my new marvels though /s

I pay for the lower tier plan because it makes it easy for my kids. I block their ads with ublock origin.

Glad I have kept my 1000+ dvd/bluray movie collection, given the way streaming has become nothing but fricken ads

Isn't the Mouse messing with copyright where we got the term Mickey Mouse law?

Crazy, now, to think that it was ever an anomaly.

Arrrrr

A new House bill would give federal courts the power to order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPN services to block designated foreign piracy sites, reviving a long-running debate over whether copyright enforcement belongs inside internet infrastructure.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) introduced H.R. 10364, the American Copyright Protection Act of 2026, on September 14, requiring any ISP, DNS provider, or VPN service with at least 100,000 US users to block court-designated foreign piracy sites.

Lol. Sucks to suck. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I was only staying there for Furious. That's probably it for me.

who knew that streaming services aren't the most sustainable business model... it would be real funny when Netflix roll back to disc rental.

I think it was after the Jimmy Kimmel nonsense we decided not to resubscribe and just never went back. I’m about done with all of them at this point

Scumbags

I actually hope this happens more. People need to quit paying for subscriptions. Every fucking thing has a subscription and every fucking subscription inevitably adds ads to their PAID subscription while increasing costs AND decreasing features.

It’s all absolutely unacceptable. Quit enabling these fuckers. Every company feels like they are entitled to a portion of my monthly income and I’m sick to death of it.

Usenet + Jellyfin ftw

Hugging my MUBI subscription tighter

Is this them weaseling ads into all of their content or is it more because of offering sports or something?

(Full disclaimer I assume they are being anti consumer by default -- but I also know they all the platforms are trying to stream sports. My wife has four different platforms for soccer, and still can't see every game she wants)

The Disney ad-free tier is literally the same as Peacock's ad-tier for movies. Wtf

People are such sheeple

In the UK we have had Sky Television for decades. Its a paid for subscription service, but ALL of its channels have adverts and has done since its inception. I don't understand why people are so surpised that ads are now appearing in paid for subscription based TV apps, it was a matter of time. It sucks, but you know, there are ways around it...
