Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to allow advertising before and after movies and shows across every subscription tier. The change quietly ends completely ad-free streaming on the platform, even for those paying top dollar.
That includes the Premium plan, which costs $18.99 a month and was originally sold on the promise of an uninterrupted viewing experience.
Subscribers now face an on-screen prompt when logging in, requiring them to actively accept the updated terms before they can keep watching.
You must log in or register to comment.
My jellyfin server doesn’t have ads
There are no ads in my paperback books either :-)
And you just know the normies will keep paying
Can’t wait to hear from the crowd that said it was fine when they introduced an ad tier because they still had a non-ad tier. Despite everyone that has seen how this always goes before telling them it was only a matter of time before legally watching Disney owned content was going to mean paying a substantial monthly fee and having to sit through ads.
Let this be a lesson everyone that said that. Once they build the mechanism to have the ads, they will not be able to resist turning up the dial for the easy ad money.
Disney should be aware that they are a big corporation with a lot of well-known output.
Well-known enough that it will still have a lot of seeders many years after release.
If I were a Disney+ subscriber, I would issue a chargeback every bill, stating that I am not getting the service I agreed to, until they dropped me as a customer.
Also, 🏴☠️
that implies having the service withput using it.c from other repliea, you are forced to accept the new terms or you dont see anything. But i like your way of thinking
Cancel it, you’ll be okay.
Fuck all these streaming service. I want Stremio, with the ability to pay a little directly to the creators of the things I watch. We need to break this system and replace it by something fair for the artists and creators, not to a fucking corporation that will give them pennies. People are willing to pay an amount for the media they consume, we just need to redirect the money to right people.until then stremio all the way.
So, what’s the point of paying for the premium plan? Do you get more content for it?
Glad I have kept my 1000+ dvd/bluray movie collection, given the way streaming has become nothing but fricken ads
Isn’t the Mouse messing with copyright where we got the term Mickey Mouse law?
Crazy, now, to think that it was ever an anomaly.
I was only staying there for Furious. That’s probably it for me.
who knew that streaming services aren’t the most sustainable business model… it would be real funny when Netflix roll back to disc rental.
I think it was after the Jimmy Kimmel nonsense we decided not to resubscribe and just never went back. I’m about done with all of them at this point
The Disney ad-free tier is literally the same as Peacock’s ad-tier for movies. Wtf
Is this them weaseling ads into all of their content or is it more because of offering sports or something?
(Full disclaimer I assume they are being anti consumer by default – but I also know they all the platforms are trying to stream sports. My wife has four different platforms for soccer, and still can’t see every game she wants)
