Already done. I like Star Wars, but oh the fuck well.

Same. Lots of people like Star Wars. That means there are plenty of Torrents to choose from. I unsubbed a while back and it’s really no problem.
I recommend setting up Sonarr and Plex or Jellyfin for fully automated copyright infringement. It’s like having a free streaming service that has everything you want to watch as soon as it releases.
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Yeah, and even if you did just get it by other means.

You should be able to stream it for free here: hydrahd.io

I got Disney with a telecom package. Then they added a surcharge because Disney raised their price. I cancelled my plan and got the bare bones fiber+mobile plan, got a parrot, grew a beard, cut one of my legs, one of my hands, and got a peg leg and a hook. Best decision.

No, she’s a Star Trek character.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Plenty of wretched hives of scum and villainy to get your Star Wars fix.
BigBenis@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt’s Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
There’s one service still putting out quality content but low overall volume, but mentioning their name on Lemmy is a risky bet. Anyway, piracy is free and can be set up for convenience too.
cdf12345@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
I love the stuff on Apple+ especially the sci-fi stuff…. But I’m still going to sail the 🏴☠️
Mostly because of this

A VPN is cheaper and multi-purpose! :)
BigBenis@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Maybe something’s going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.
Unless you’re talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I’ve definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.

I can’t unsubscribe, but you bet I can avoid every one of Marvel’s Phase 6 movies next year in protest.

elucubra@piefed.social 7 months ago
I believe someone downloaded all the the part’s files and 3D printed one.
DemBoSain@midwest.social 7 months ago
I’d even make copies of that car for all my friends, just like I do now.

“come back and cancel anytime”
What the fuck is that wording?
normalexit@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s very awkward. I think they mean you can stop the intent to cancel, so cancel the cancellation.

Funny, you guys didn’t want to boycott ABC when they fired conservatives for things they said off screen, in fact people like Kimmel celebrated it.
What’s changed?
HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 7 months ago
celebrated
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 7 months ago
Did you not read the quotes from Kimmel in the picture in my comment that you replied to?
oyo@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Kimmel said nothing remotely celebratory. He literally condemned the violence and mildly suggested the right was using his death to score political points. (AKA the truth which you can’t deny.)
Barr said “conservative” things? You mean absolutely vile racist shit? Yeah I guess that tracks. There’s one little fucking difference though, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT didn’t call for her firing. ABC can fire whoever they want, but you have to be fucking blind to not see the government putting their hand on the scale here. That’s blatantly unconstitutional.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 7 months ago
Where did I say Barr said “conservative things”? You literally just made something up and then had a go at me for it lol
Kimmel flat out lied and said that the shooter of Charlie Kirk was “one of their own” in regards to “MAGA”. He said this to push his liberal leftist political ideology, to paint the shooter as a “MAGA”. We know with 100% certainty, and had known for a long time before Kimmel said this, that he was a leftist. His own parents told us this. His friends and colleagues said this. His trans furry boyfriend’s text conversations confirmed this (as if the existence of a trans furry boyfriend didn’t already confirm it lol).
Kimmel blatantly lied, on public tv, to push his political ideologies.
Jrockwar@feddit.uk 7 months ago
The paradox of tolerance. You’re quoting an racist remark - there’s no need to tolerate intolerance as the social contract is broken.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 7 months ago
The paradox of tolerance
Of course you go straight to that trash. Liberals all over have been celebrating the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, so I guess the social contract is broken and now all liberals shouldn’t be tolerated?
AmidFuror@fedia.io 7 months ago
What vile thing did Jimmy Kimmel say? Please quote him accurately. And if the vile thing is just him quoting what Trump said, we shouldn't hold that against Kimmel.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 7 months ago
Kimmel lied and intentionally spread misinformation for political purposes, on live tv.
Nothing to do with anything trump said. What are you even talking about?
toomanypancakes@piefed.world 7 months ago
What did Roseanne say? I know what she said, I want to know if you know.

I went to look at the 538 Trump opinion polls to compare to his first term, then I remembered ABC bought and destroyed 538.

Nate Silver has been shitty for a long time though too. I used to get his newsletters and you could watch the digression.

I was surprised to see Fox, looked into it on Wikipedia, and now I’m even more confused between Fox Entertainment, Fox Corporation, 21st Century Fox, Fox News [Channel], …

I’ll miss Kermit, but I was already skipping most of that.
Nikki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
i always look at these seriously and then realize i havent subbed to a single one ever
The_v@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Lol me either. Their services are not nearly as good as the unauthorized streaming sites.
reddig33@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Studios should not own TV channels.
ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 7 months ago
I wouldnt say Im even trying to boycott, but I could care less about literally everything under that umbrella except for Pixar, and I havent seen a new Pixar movie in probably 10 or more years.
What the fuck does Winnie the Pooh Workbook even mean?
merc@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
You could care less? You mean, you care, possibly a lot?
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Winnie the Pooh is not a Disney creation. They had exclusive rights to it between 1953 and 2021.
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago

I think this chart might be a bit dated, I'm fairly certain Disney has taken full control of Hulu, not 67%
frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 7 months ago
Yes, this put me over the edge. I now have zero streaming services for American shows.
jimmux@programming.dev 7 months ago
Netflix is the only one I have left now, and that’s only because I share the account with multiple people, so it’s more like 1/4 of a subscription. If I cancelled they would end up with more subscribers.
5too@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Wish Netflix still mailed DVDs, be nice to have another way to fill in the gaps.
Need to look at what DVDs the library carries…
Speculater@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I still have Apple TV and Crunchy Roll… Should Apple be cancelled for this?
ozymandias117@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Canceled that one back when they fired Jon Stewart because he wanted to report on China and Israel
FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I hope they lose everything, and their CEO’s have to log in to the internet from a well used and disrespected latrine.
reddig33@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It could cost Bob Iger (Disney CEO) his job. Eisner is already gunning for him again.
bunkyprewster@startrek.website 7 months ago
I did
usernameunnecessary@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
I’m all for Disney getting the cancellations they deserve, but articles like this one are entirely sensationalist. No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.
criss_cross@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I saw this suggestion on the site that shall not be named.
Find a Nexstar or Sinclair owned channel, note the advertisers in there, and start shaming them for paying money to advertise on those networks. Literally 50% of their revenue comes from ads so gutting that would make a difference
Makhno@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nothing in the article mentions how many people actually unsubbed…

The right, who have been anti-Disney for years because of them constantly forcing their ideologies and political preference into everything, watching the left who are the biggest benefactors of Disney’s propaganda and ideologies, now attempt to destroy Disney:

Trying to explain to everyone at SAG-AFTRA that Disney executives are the real leftists.
But this does beg the question… Is Iron Man a Tankie?
