Disney Plus Trying to PUSH People Into Ad-Supported Tier with More Price Hikes?!

Clownfish TV: Audio Edition

Disney is prioritizing profit through price hikes and the promotion of an ad-supported streaming tier, while neglecting customer experience and accessibility. 00:00 Disney is raising streaming prices and frustrating users with ads to drive subscriptions to the ad-supported tier, despite claiming record profits. 03:07 Disney Plus is raising prices again to align with perceived value while pushing customers towards the more profitable ad-supported tier amid competition with Netflix. 05:15 Disney is pushing customers to an ad-supported tier to boost profits through targeted advertising and personalized ads. 08:53 Disney is focusing on profit through AI, advertising, and price hikes while neglecting creativity and quality, even as park attendance declines. 12:07 Disney is removing the DAS pass and raising prices for Lightning Lane services, prioritizing profit over accessibility for disabled guests. 14:03 Disney is hiking prices for services and tickets while limiting affordable options, pushing customers towards more expensive tiers despite criticism over reduced experiences. 17:23 Disney is prioritizing profit through price hikes and costly attractions, amid declining interest and rising costs, prompting families to rethink their trips. 19:25 Disney Plus is pushing subscribers towards its ad-supported tier by implementing more price hikes. Disney deliberately misleads customers about ad-free tier popularity, as 60% of new subscribers choose ad-supported while only 37% opt for ad-free, to maximize ad revenue through cheaper tier subscriptions. Disney employs AI technology to target ads based on individual buying habits and demographics, even altering show imagery to promote specific products tailored to each viewer. Disney exploits disabled visitors by charging for Genie+ and Lightning Lane services, monetizing handicap access that should be provided free of charge. Disney’s pricing strategy involves increasing annual pass prices while shortening validity periods, maintaining single-day ticket prices to encourage more frequent, shorter visits for higher profits. Disney parks are nickel-and-diming customers through incremental price hikes on annual passes, Genie+, Lightning Lane, and tickets, prioritizing profit over value for visitors. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.
