I was recently charged 149.79 for the annual Disney plus service with out ads. When I called customer service to cancel it based on the price increase, I was told I could add the Disney Plus basic to my already established Hulu Student account.

I assume you have to have the student account to get this to work. But if you do go into your account settings, there you will find a billings page with optional add-ons to your plan. Once you click that you will see an option to add Disney plus with ads to your Hulu account. NOTE: this can only be done thru your Hulu.com profile account and on Google chrome, not via the app or Disney website.

Total I am now being billed monthly is 4.27 for both streaming services vs the $9.99 monthly bundle price for the same services.

I was fortunate enough to get the black friday .99 a month last year with the 2.99 per month disney plus with no ads add-on. I recently went back to school and now that the .99 a month is expiring, I switched to the student hulu with ads for 1.99 and was able to keep my 2.99 a month disney plus with no ads add-on.

Weren't all the conservative news outlets reporting yesterday that Disney+ is shutting down in December? Must have just been wishful thinking haha.

Go woke, go broke. Or something like that? 🤷

That's a great point, and I suspect is what people are "feeling" as negative in "this current economy" which based on data is doing great.

Some of that criticism (maybe most) is due to humans wanting to attribute bad things to the things they don't like, i.e. politics typically. "Your guy" is in power? Economy is terrible! "My guy is in power?" Economy is great! Big Grin

I have no idea the point you are trying and failing to make. However I do know that things cost a lot more now, mainly staples like, you know, food and clothes and electricity and so paying for premium steaming is discretionary and at $140 a year for Disney + is a lot given it was around $70 the last time I bought it. Therefore the $2 add on, even if I have to deal with ads, is a pretty good deal. $36 or so a year for some on demand exclusive content seems like a good entertainment value compared to $140 for just Disney.

I suspect the number of subs actually paying $140 for Disney is very VERY small. Could actually probably find that in their earnings report somewhere, maybe, but I am not that interested.

I think you may be conflating prices rising (they are actually falling now) with the particular issues going on in the streaming media sector. (see below also, for updated info on inlation)

Streaming companies are generally stopping the subsidizing they did for the past several years just to get subscribers. They are no longer focused on "number of subscribers" (even if it meant losing money for them), and have pivoted hard to a profitability model, which is going to feel very anti-consumer to us on the other side of those changing policies (especially after the salad days/years we have just been through).

Inflation in the US:

It's dropped from around 7-8% last year, to less than half that currently.

https://d3fy651gv2fhd3.cloudfront...1=20181123

"The annual inflation rate in the US slowed to 3.2% in October 2023 from 3.7% in both September and August, and below market forecasts of 3.3%. Energy costs dropped 4.5% (vs -0.5% in September), with gasoline declining 5.3%, utility (piped) gas service falling 15.8% and fuel oil sinking 21.4%."

I had no idea that the blog "Inside the Magic [insidethemagic.net]" was a conservative news outlet.

Inside the Magic is just a click bait Disney "news" site designed to get clicks for ad revenue. It's the Screen Rant of the Disney world.
