I think you underestimate the number of Disney Adults

You know those cheesy black and white family bumper stickers where it'll have the mom, dad, maybe two kids and a dog? There's a guy in my neighborhood with the saddest solo version of that on his car with him in disney garb. The rest of his car is also plastered in disney poo poo. It makes me die a little each time I walk by it because you know they sell a full family set of this and he had to go up to the cashier and check out for a single sticker.

Disney family sticker figure, alone.

Doesn't quite have quite the same punch as

for sale: baby shoes, never worn.

But it seems more fitting for the modern times.

they're competing with youtube

the point of D+ is a $15/month babysitter for widdle jonny to keep quiet under the guise they can watch "safe" kids media, after all, its disney, it must be safe 4 kids and i don't have to think about it. youtube is a direct competitor to this model and way more popular babysitter for kids than D+, plus its free*. it also has more content to keep widdle jonny quiet for longer

yt kids is highly addictive for little tots with its toy opening/play channels and delivers a virtual friend experience for older kids via minecraft and roblock lets plays/vtubers

i think the real answer is to just turn it on for a month and off for 4-5 and cycle through all the different services that way. way cheaper and who gives a poo poo if you see streaming content the minute it's released, it's fine to watch it whenever you get around to it

after netflix shitted it's intestines out it's rear end, I went back to usenet about ~5 years ago with a NAS+Plex setup and it's been good. I would say using Plex isn't really that much different than Netflix if you put on enough content and it's the same thing of idling scrolling for content going 'ehhh naw... that one?? ehhh... maybe nah not feeling it... hgmm that one sounds interesting? oh, maybe not in the mood for that.. how about......

Sonarr/Radarr also let you add Trakt or IMDB lists for new releases/popular releases/whatever that autoamtically download so you can keep your Plex populated with stuff you haven't even heard of versus downloading each one manually

the trick the streaming services rely on is that nobody ever cancels so it's a good gambit

this is happening in real-time at my place. they offered a buyout that was pretty generous for people with even minor tenure (~5yrs) so everyone who knew how things function left.

I stayed because it’s a low effort job, I have a newborn and it’s real nice underperforming as a rule. literally yesterday I got a 5 figure bonus.

I’ve never watched less TV in my life then over the last few years as streaming sites all simultaneously enshittify. At this point I mostly just rent or buy the occasional movie off Amazon. Seriously considering buying a blu ray player and just stocking up on criterion movies for when things get worse.
