    Spoiler alert, but they aren’t gonna slash their prices so you only pay for what you want. They are gonna bill you yhe same, take away all your options, and then charge you another $4 a month for Marvel, and another $5 for Star Wars.

      And they will package the Marvel with stuff you don’t want but make you pay for to get the Marvel and the same for Star Wars.

      The high seas sure looks inviting again…

        Yeah, i imagine it’s gonna be two tv packages, plus a “Princess” package that has all the classic Disney and Pixar animation movies, so the end result is that people just doubled what they pay for Disney+

      Probably, but they’ll lose a lot of people who keep their subscriptions.

        Not enough to lose money overall. People are sleepwalking through life. We cannot get a general strike over healthcare, let alone a tiny boycott over prices.

        All they need is for the sum value of the price increase to be greater than the loss of subscriptions.

        They have been removing shared accounts, and while the number of eyes have reduced, the profit has increased.
