      No one said it was the only path. I don’t see that being argued anywhere. But since the topic of THIS post is about Disney+ then it seems relevant to the discussion as why people are paying it.

      But sure let’s hear more about your irrelevance on the topic.

        I thought Disney was “nearly a requirement” . . . sounds to like those precious few who can manage without might have some useful information.
        Typically this is what happens in a free competitive market, when a price goes up people look for substitutes.
        And if they face constraints in moving to the substitute, they will benefit from help in loosening those constraints.

          So what’s the issue? You’re upset because I said that?

          There are a 150 million Disney subscribers right now. Down from 160 a few years ago. The price increase has turned a few away, but not many.

          Clearly there are families that continue to justify the expense. Again, I don’t have the service or children. I just thought it was odd for people to have so much hate for families who spend $12 a month to watch shows.

      Do you both work from home or is one a stay at home parent? Do you have enough money where a nanny/babysitter assists? Or do you have family that helps out regularly? Because if you answered yes to any of those, you can’t really look down from your ivory tower.
