Comment Watch/Binge/Cancel vs. Reasonable Annual Rates (Score 5, Interesting) 78
I was happy to pay for an annual subscription at a reduced rate for Disney+ (or really, any service) as it reduces the need to play the "subscribe,binge,cancel" game. But they keep trying to jack up prices more and more and more making it so that I either forced to subscribe, binge, cancel or simply not watch. They came out with the triple bundle for $20 and I was stoked! I don't really watch ESPN for much, but enjoyed some of the college football games. I subscribed and they nearly instantly jacked up the price by $5. CANCEL
I had Netflix nonstop for nearly a decade, but they decided to jack up prices so now I "subscribe,binge,cancel". Give me a full year at 40-60% off and I'll stay subscribed. Jack up monthly subs to unreasonable levels? I'll break out the old pirate flags or just not watch at all.
The MO now is to jack up prices and offer a "deal" for ads. F that. I'm NEVER going back to ads. I'll either pay a reasonable rate or "subscribe,binge,cancel".
