Reddit refuses to ever understand economics.

Things cost what people are willing to pay for them. If nobody was buying their shit, they would be charging lower prices.

you don't understand the k shaped economy then, because companies always react to whoever it is that has money. disney+ just might not be for everyone because there are also bandwidth limits. the higher price is a self selecting audience and keeps out the masses who would pay the lower price point. the infrastructure build out has a limit on the cost/benefit.

plus Disney has proven that if the dictated prices aren't paid, Disney will just end the experience all together like that Star wars hotel that opened and closed within a couple years and undoubtedly cost millions to launch.

but yeah, go ahead and boycott Disney and see how that affects their pricing.

It's a subscription service with 200 million subscribers, ok.

Why are 200 million subscribers paying for this shit?
