Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to allow advertising before and after movies and shows across every subscription tier. The change quietly ends completely ad-free streaming on the platform, even for those paying top dollar.
That includes the Premium plan, which costs $18.99 a month and was originally sold on the promise of an uninterrupted viewing experience.
Subscribers now face an on-screen prompt when logging in, requiring them to actively accept the updated terms before they can keep watching.
Can’t wait to hear from the crowd that said it was fine when they introduced an ad tier because they still had a non-ad tier. Despite everyone that has seen how this always goes before telling them it was only a matter of time before legally watching Disney owned content was going to mean paying a substantial monthly fee and having to sit through ads.
Let this be a lesson everyone that said that. Once they build the mechanism to have the ads, they will not be able to resist turning up the dial for the easy ad money.
Disney should be aware that they are a big corporation with a lot of well-known output.
Well-known enough that it will still have a lot of seeders many years after release.
And you just know the normies will keep paying
My jellyfin server doesn’t have ads
There are no ads in my paperback books either :-)
So, what’s the point of paying for the premium plan? Do you get more content for it?
Sail the seas 🏴☠️
Glad I have kept my 1000+ dvd/bluray movie collection, given the way streaming has become nothing but fricken ads
Isn’t the Mouse messing with copyright where we got the term Mickey Mouse law?
Crazy, now, to think that it was ever an anomaly.
Remember that if you sign up for Disney+, you waive the right to sue them if they kill you at one of their restaurants.
What the actual hell. I am going to be a revenge pirate now
How can you sue someone from beyond the grave anyways?
Family on your behalf.
I’ve been a Transmission person for decades, what’s the reason to switch?
If you are happy, no reason to switch. I like the integrated search engine and the http remote control of qbittorrent, but whatever floats your pirate ship.
My only streaming service
Only 3.49€ a month too !
😁
(My VPN cost)
Stremio is so good too
I was only staying there for Furious. That’s probably it for me.
If I were a Disney+ subscriber, I would issue a chargeback every bill, stating that I am not getting the service I agreed to, until they dropped me as a customer.
Also, 🏴☠️
that implies having the service withput using it.c from other repliea, you are forced to accept the new terms or you dont see anything. But i like your way of thinking
Cancel it, you’ll be okay.
Fuck all these streaming service. I want Stremio, with the ability to pay a little directly to the creators of the things I watch. We need to break this system and replace it by something fair for the artists and creators, not to a fucking corporation that will give them pennies. People are willing to pay an amount for the media they consume, we just need to redirect the money to right people.until then stremio all the way.
