If you don't cancel your subscription then you deserve the shit deal, is the way I look at it.

I cancelled mine a while ago, along with Apple TV. Unfortunately my husband has insisted on keeping Amazon Prime Video, but I’m working on him 😁 These companies don’t seem to realise that the piracy sites are becoming ever more sophisticated & easy to navigate. This will backfire on Disney.

Glad I jumped on that $5/month offer.

Never had it, never will.

Make it shitty!

Other TV shows, PSAs, charities, government adverts and a bunch of other things.

Not knocking the Beeb for that. What is clear is that adverts are obviously seen as an irritant to be avoided by paying more money, whilst paid subscription services have it both ways. Greed.

I’m had Disney for my kids when they were little SPECIFICALLY bc it didn’t have ads!!

Wait, is this only in the UK? The article specifically mentions that an email was sent to UK customers, nothing I saw explicitly said this applied to anyone else, but I absolutely could have missed something.

unsubscribed. again. 🥂

if only there was an easier way

Big corps making it more and more justifiable to pirate each and every day

I wish my wife would let me.canxel this. I have 1500 movies and over 200 TV series on TV. We dont even need it.

Yo ho ho and whatnot...

Well You force us We tried the right way, but if You give us a Bad service and expected for US to pay, well... We won't and YOU be happy

Pray they don't alter it further

If you cancelled your subscription, think of all the physical media you could buy from an actual shop.

they lost the soyjak demographic

yeah but last I checked, not all hulu shows are on the hulu selection on the disney plus app

This smells like Hulu

Don't forget Nat Geo!

It was always like that outside of the US because Hulu was US only.

Buying only tangible media from now on, even if it resigns me to older content, so I can still watch them on a DVD player powered by a manual stationary bicycle and a potato battery.

‘Thank you for paying us, now we will torment you. Do keep paying us though.’

Arrrrgggg

Darth Disney has altered the agreement, pray they don’t alter it further?

Forget Disney+. Make your own plan.

And Poof! You're gone.

The fmovies gang be like "lmao dont care cry me a river"

That's cool, I already cancelled it

Physical Media lovers unite and cancel all these ridiculous subscriptions!!

Fuck your Mandalorian 

Subscription services are jacking up prices, offering less, and doing what they can to ruin your ability to enjoy entertainment. I haven't done the dirty Disney subscription yet and this is one more reason not to.

A few yrs ago I was yelled at and called a boomer by tech bros when I said that streaming is worse than cable.

You have a moral obligation to pirate everything you can

So we went from free TV with ads to pay TV without ads to pay TV with ads? Well, at least I’m not ringing up my own groceries.

greedy fucks i’m going to pirate every show and movie ever forever from now on fuck EVERY single streaming service

Well, crap! There goes my Disney subscription. I refuse to watch any more commercials! Enough!!

I just altered my user agreement to pirate all their shit.

Hoist the Jolly Roger! Arrrr!!! ☠️

I hope all the people who are complaining about this cancel their Disney sub. It would be amazing and wonderful to see them tank. 👍

Just canceled I'm not coming back Staying away is all you understand By the way, Disney let a pedophile direct Powder

*Laughs in Pi-Hole*

Hello!

Good thing we cancelled our subscription long ago.

To ‘clarify’, that's what they call it when they're caught violating their own terms of service and realize that they need to change their terms of service.

Microsoft will be peddling ads soon in their games. They will probably sell it as an ad supported game pass tier but one the tech exists it wont be long before it appears in the other tiers too. Its the same playbook - abuse consumers for as much as possible.

Capitalism is just another way of saying; a slow grift.

God I'm so glad I learned just enough to set up a raspberry pi zero on my network that blocks all ads for every device connected to our WiFi... that week setting it up, I tore out half my hair, but it has been SO worth it!!!

God bless Stremio

Don't buy the products

That makes the decision easy.

Ads wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t intrusive and pop in every five minutes. Also, let us get through and entire movie without ads. Before and after, fine. Not during FFS.

Canceled. Not going to pay a subscription fee to watch ads.

Another reason to hate Disney.

How, magical. Disney is also cutting the throats of thousands of tech workers and creatives to replace the with AI.

I will not pay for any service that forces ads on me. I pay extra for that, and if they try to take that away I'll just go back to the 7 seas.

Then what's the point of tiered payment if you're just gonna be fucking cable tv again?

so we're just back to cable

Broadcasting, terrestrial TV, DVDs, newspapers - it genuinely was better in the old days.

It's about time we rediscovered physical media.

lol lmao

There are, I've not seen an ad in years.

"Not true! They can't reach our dreams. Until they figure out how to get the ads into our heads just as this syringe gets liquid into this egg. *rupture* Anyway, it will all be done with harmless gamma radiation." -- Prof. Farnsworth

If #Disney does not reverse this, we are canceling.

Yeah, no. Missed that in the troll-y ign headline.

Oh hey can you tell them absolutely not under any circumstances will i pay to watch ads? Thx

It's off to the high seas for me, me hearties. ARRRRRRRR!

Wait a minute... This is just TV all over again! 📺

Turns out I absolutely would download a car.

@mickeyuss.bsky.social and another one

why fucking subscribe if you get ads no matter what good thing i stopped caring about this shit a long time ago

that’s right fuck each and every one of you

That explains it

Detroit's own utility, DTE!

All these companies really played the long game, didn’t they.

I remember a time when we could watch TV with ads for free

WCO Stream is ad-free if you use uBlock Origin

FYI: FMHY

There's no advertisement here

Welcome back, Disney Channel.

Charge for a subscription AND watch commercials? Can we say greedy f—-ing a—holes!

The oligarchs win every time you skeet that this is terrible and then do nothing to cancel your subscription.

"We have altered the user agreement. Pray we don't alter it any further."

I remember when we went to the movies and bought dvd’s and blue rays. Now we instead of buying it once we by it over and over again monthly by streaming! Maybe it’s time to disconnect!

They did, for a time, but business catches up.

“Allowed”? Or “unavoidable”?

youtu.be/i8ju_10NkGY?...

That’ll be a NOPE from me.

When I was a behavioral scientist at Disney I interacted with the Consumer Insights team, who surveyed the public on new products. What really impressed me about them was whatever the C-suite wanted to do, this team could always prove the fans were just begging for it. "Please Disney! More ads!"

That means the rest of the services will do the same.

Looks like they don't want me back. Oh well, no big loss.

To encourage subscription to higher tiers, 1 in 1000 lower tier subscribers agree to have their homes burned by Disney employees dressed as Mickey, Chewing and Olaf.

Notice how the Doctorow's Decline hasn't reversed itself, anywhere. People can get used to anything. And they do.

I agree, but I actually meant unskippable ads within the content 🙂 And not just movie trailers -- ads for FOX, ESPN, History Channel, ABC, the theme parks, etc.

Eh. Skippable pre-roll of their own stuff doesn't bother me. But everyone gets to set their own standard. If that's yours, good on you.

Cable and PVR. FF through anything 🙂

But like, I don't want to watch things (especially movies) with ads? It... ruins the experience? This isn't only anti-consumer it's anti-enjoyment.
