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.

Because different people like dofferent things and all "art" is subjective. You are not an immutable objective font or source of truth. Therefore, whilst you might believe it's shit, any many will agree. You are simultaneously correct and incorrect in your assessment.
Or in short.
Not everyone likes what you like, so they pay for disney if thats what makes them happy.
Nah, it's objectively shit.
If that's how you judge Disney+ I guess you say the same of all streaming services except the Criterion channel?
No, other services have some good stuff. Disney+ is only a good option if you have kids and you don't want them to be very smart when then grow up.
Ah yes of course, National Geographic are famous for making kids stupid, that's why those shows are on Disney+. Futurama is a cartoon so must be a kids show.
I guess you're right. Not all content on the platform is shit, only all content made by Disney is. But I highly doubt a lot of people pay for Disney+ to watch non-Disney content.
Maybe you should read what they offer? Depends where you draw the line on what is "Disney content" (just kids animated films and shows?), but they have all Star Wars and most Marvel content.
Depending where you draw the line, I subscribe for only the non-Disney content. Though I may have to re-evaluate my sub soon...
I definitely include all star wars and marvel content in the shit Disney content category.
Ah okay. I'm glad you're informed on the breadth of content you're calling shit!
Of course I am. I'm arrogant, not ignorant.
