Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise. Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

Eh. They deserve it.

Always funny seeing rubes be like "it's on this streaming service" or "I don't have that streaming service."

You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

All you need is uBlock Origin.

Seeing the discussion always center around paid streaming services just shows me how stupid the average person is these days. They're proud to pay more, for less. Lol. I guess that's why they're called useful idiots.

God bless you for sharing this. I will keep it to myself.

[–] superguy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

No problem!

I recommend sharing it for others, though.

Don't use streaming services they suck.

If you're gonna pirate at least do it properly, by downloading.

[–] superguy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lol, what?

For convenience and price, you simply can't beat free streaming sites.

The quality and experience is horrible though.

Torrenting always wins. But maybe you have poor internet and don't want to wait for a download (although you can watch a movie while downloading it.)

A Plex server with automatic downloading is way more convenient.

Usenet is even better. I have my *arrs set up to run both and tdarr transcodes everything to h265 10 bit.

I'm scared to do torrent man. I didn't care about it when I was in Indonesia. Now I live in Germany, and now I'm scared of doing it.

Just use a good paid VPN and bind the VPN network Interface to your torrent client so that it's impossible to torrent without the VPN turned on.

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Not everyone wants to torrent.

[–] thoughtorgan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

He's right, downloading gets you better encodes that prioritize quality over getting the smallest possible file to keep upload totals down.

But yeah you're also right, for 99% of people avoiding downloads is the right move.

No, I like https://himovies.sx/home.

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use https://himovies.sx/home but fmovies is my backup.

[–] superguy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Nice. The more the merrier.

Let people be stupid. Don't share the link openly... fm0vi35 is already too good to be true. If people start canceling subscriptions for it, it will be a target to take down.

[–] superguy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah. We should be sharing free streaming sites every time someone mentions getting ripped off by a paid service.

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Ideally, yes.
