I got a reasonable deal on Disney a year ago. £70 is ok compared to other streaming sites. I only sub to one at a time as its expensive. Then I binge what I can. But with kids in the family I thought "sod it" and paid for a year. They get to benefit from all the cartoons. I got to watch all those movies and series.
I wasnt as impressed with the last Loki and Mandalorian. Felt they ruined that. Got to watch the new Star Wars movies, they were OKish. I dont feel that customers/viewers will come back to some of this stuff compared to even the prequel stuff. Its just not well written.
One thing is I like the idea of having stuff Ican access if the internet goes down (or i cant afford it any more). The other is the money goes to a local need rather than a big corp. I'm ok with that.
Stuff you pirate is still there on your hard drive when the internet goes down. You can move it, copy it, do whatever you want with it.
