Price Hikes For Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+

I can’t agree with these “it’s the same we were paying for cable” takes. Even when I had cable, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, etc were all still extra (the services that primarily coexisted with the “height” of cable). I currently pay $70/year for AppleTV+, $5/month to upgrade my Hulu to ad free, $22/month for Netflix (the absolute worst value service imo). Disney/Hulu are included with my Verizon plan (though for the sake of argument, let’s say I’m spending $10/month more for that), and I only have HBO because I caught a 1 year for $100 deal.

That comes out to $51/month - my cable was never that low. And that’s including Netflix and HBO that would have cost me more anyway. Take those out and it’s even lower.

If you‘re one of those people who has to have every. single. service. Then yea, it’s probably more. And you should probably just have cable If you have to have that much content.
