Are we really gonna listen to a hit piece from an anti-Disney writer at CNBC who has been against Chapek since Day 1? I mean they don't realize or care to think that Iger, while he said he wouldn't do it, would have probably gone behind our backs and did it anyway like how he lied that he'd keep both Fox 2000 Pictures and Fox Searchlight alive when he only kept the latter alive.blackcauldron85 wrote:Disney CEO Bob Chapek again distances himself from Bob Iger with Disney+ pricing decision

Also, I wanna actually touch upon the fact that Disney+ is increasing the price of its ad-free tier by $3 for $10.99. Honestly, I’m ok with that. I would’ve preferred $9.99. But at least it’s $3 less expensive than Netflix and $4 less expensive than HBO Max, won’t be too expensive to buy now that inflation is going down after the passage of the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act), and will account for the amount of money going into new movies like the $150M reimagining of Pinocchio and new Star Wars series (like Andor, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew), along with new MCU series like Daredevil: Born Again. So, you can’t say Disney’s content looks cheap or that their price is too high when Netflix and HBO Max is higher, when Disney+’s ad-free price is better than those two and when they are now putting $30B in their upcoming new stories for #DisneyPlus next year to try and escape their cheap look. So if you want stories with better writing & CGI and way more money put into them, put your money where your mouth is and pay $11 monthly or $110 yearly for free Disney+. After all, beggars can’t be choosers. Am I right?
