Disney Raises Prices for Streaming Services by as Much as 27%::Walt Disney Co.
is raising the prices of its streaming services, including a 27% increase for
the advertising-free version of the flagship Disney+.
TLDR:
Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.
And that is why we need a new corporate contract where the betterment of its employees, communities and it’s services/products is a corporations goal not endless growth for the sake of profit.
If the corporate contract changes then the expectation of investors would have to change as well. Changing the corporate contract is fundamental to changing nearly everything. What’s even better is that no one can argue it’s “evil socialism/communism” because it just isn’t but it still affects sweeping positive changes.
Whit this the company might risk the chance to loose some of their biggest investors, who are keeping the company alive.
The implementation of such change would take years to slowly modify and chisel as much money-loosing-holes as possible.
Plus there would be board meetings where the company have to come up with a short term plan to Convince every money oriented board member that the new corporate contract will shovel money to the business. It is not easy, trust me.
They can’t afford to loose money first to gain money years later.
It’s just still relatively cheap. I don’t know anyone who has more than 4 streaming services (although I am sure there are some) at once concurrently, that’s still cheaper than the average cable bill ($83).
And I’m still paying less (although the margin is smaller now) than when I had to choose a cable tv package. Even with inflation.
A la carte channels are what we wanted for 50 years and this is pretty close. Don’t get me wrong, I pirate everyday because fuck’em, but it’s better than cable.

Priority for corporation will always be profit maximization. Users are secondary.

I guess that is the fault of not being aware of alternatives, or brand royalty.
Average Users just want to be comfortable with watch they already have and don’t want to hassle to learn new habits.
Disney simply chose to skip the voting and went straight to forbid password sharing. They are hoping for gaining new customers like Netflix .

Unfortunately they are pushed by the investors to focus on generating profit for them.
If I would give money to someone to make more money. I would expect more and more not less or a fix amount.
