We (and 3 friends) all got free subscriptions for some reason when renewing our phone plan. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 13:22

- Yeah, like I said a while back, I don't think they'll feel that until the start of 2023 since people mostly bought annual subscriptions. -- nm - David Aug 10, 13:14 8

        Of course, if most of them switch to ad plans, Disney makes even more money than if they just renew at regular. They should actually push those plans! -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 14:08
Disney+ increasing from $7.99 to $10.99 for ad-free. Ad tier starts at $7.99 on December 8th. -- nm - David Aug 10, 13:08
