TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

    Especially when they’ve a) acknowledged that none of their money is actually going to the artists and b) they’re in a piracy subreddit. People gotta stop shilling for music streaming services here, it’s indefensible on every level.

      Some of us old timers remember the bad old days when a CD with two songs you actually liked cost $17.99 (about $35-40 in today’s dollars). As bad as Spotify and others are it sure beats what we had before.

        Yes, let’s just pretend digital downloads haven’t existed for longer than streaming services and solve this problem completely.

            I go to live shows and buy merch literally every week. I generally support artists directly whenever possible. I don’t need to give these giant corpos money while pretending more than pennies go to the artists.
