Alternate headline: Why is there stupid choices now when before we can just charge consumers $200/month to watch all of our crap knowing that they won't watch 90% of it?

Before you sign up for Disney+... throw away your pen!

What is this “Watch”?

Why not participate?

You can’t take it with you.

My understanding is you can get Disney Hulu and ESPN for less than 15 a month in a bundle

... and if you live in a tent rather than some house or apartment, you could save hundreds of thousands over the course of your shortened lifespan.

It’s discretionary spending for entertainment.

Still cheaper than cable.

If you use that logic, nothing is a good “expense.”

And the problem with the “take the money an save it” is that it normally never happens.

I used to use this BS when I was selling cable TV in the early 1980’s. “Its just a dollar a day...”

I signed for the free one year version because I have unlimited data plan from Verizon. I will cancel at the end of the year.

I signed up for Disney+. I was really looking forward to seeing the classics again. Unfortunately, my Roku is too old. The modelI have is a 25900X. Can’t get the Disney+ app on it. Sorry, Disney. I won’t be spending money to upgrade my Roku just so I can watch Disney+. I have absolutely no desire to sit my 4 year old granddaughter down with my laptop.

Who in the Hell is going to keep those service for 40 to 60 years?

Now I see Netflix is trying to counter Disney, they are offering the first 30 days free instead of the usual 7 days.

For that deal I may take it so I can see “The Irishman” for free and then cancel.

How many are you going to pay for?

None.

Does none work for you?

It works for me.
