Apple will raise the price of Apple TV+ by 30 per cent starting Thursday. For new U.S. subscribers, the streaming service will now cost $12.99 per month, up from $9.99 earlier

I don't think enough people are putting their principles ahead of the desire for entertainment. There should be a greater public backlash as these media outlets continue to increase their prices.

It's taken me no more than two price increases by any outlet to cancel my subscription. I now only subscribe to Nebula, I watch Pluto and Tubi, I acquire my media in other ways that give me ownership of it, and I go to the theater more often. But mostly I try to do other things like read, create, exercise, socialize, learn new things.

To be fair, I'm a single person with no kids. However, I grew up in a time before mass cable tv adoption. I just hope parents are aware of the potential addiction they're harming their children with as they stick a screen in front of their face rather than a coloring book or lego set.

We're allowing corporations to control us and giving in to their demands to satisfy our addictions. To a lesser degree, we're drug addicts and they're the dealers.

I am riding the high sea.

Given their current lack of content worth watching, won't be renewing. Haven't streamed Apple+ for months now ..

Damn it was surprisingly affordable. Netflix up to $17 now.

These streaming companies are pricing themselves out of the market. Keep it up guys!

Lol Apple can go fuck an apple! I ain't paying shit!

The more streaming services raise their prices, the more people asking to join my self hosted alternatives.

Which is win-win, because then they chip in for more hard drives.

Good.

Charge the useful idiots as much as they're willing to pay.
