Just like how every time streaming gets more convoluted more people turn to torrenting. These companies manage to find ways to hurt themselves while thinking they're forcing people into paying them more.

Does not seem like its hurting Netflix / Disney all that much. If I had a 100 million subscribers paying me $100/year, I'm pretty sure I'd be crying into my caviar.

Admittedly, they're both nonsensically incompetent at times, and if you believe Disney's financials (do you believe any Hollywood financials?) then they somehow manage to lose money on $10,000,000,000 / year. I'm still not sure how you make the equivalent of 10's of 1,000's of tv episode costs ... and then lose money ... with Disney's back catalogue and vault.
