Well. Damn. Sure hate reading this sly nod at my wallet, speaking as a consumer. And also as someone who doesn't own a streaming service. :-/
Since they also own Hulu, ESPN+, and Hotstar(? IDK but India, I guess), it's little surprise that they are beating out Netflix...Disney+ alone is just a branding monster of a service. Rescue Rangers might as well just be one long rap lyric about Disney's brand power.
- superchroma 4y agoI'm not so surprised by this. In my country, the conventional smart-box TV & partial on-demand solution (owned by Fox, ad supported, having evolved from legacy premium TV) starts at $90/mo. As on demand streaming companies build out libraries to rival such services, I'm not surprised they'll be eyeballing similar pricing schemes. What saddens me is that our premium TV service was initially offered as ad-free for this price, and they crept in after not that long.
