Here is the link to the survey I have been discussing in previous posts. Not my research, it's from Alina Wojciechowska who is a student at the University of Stirling.
I'm sharing it here because I found it so interesting and thought others in the #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead community might also like to see it.

Meta shows off Threads Fediverse integration | theverge.com/24106231/threads-…

3 years ago I paid $6.99/month for Disney+, tax included. They offered an annual subscription for $69.99, so I switched to that.
2 years ago it increased to $79.99 plus tax, or $86.39.
Last year it increased to $109.99 plus tax, or $119.34.
This year it increased to $139.99 plus tax, or $151.89.
In the span of 3 years the cost has MORE THAN DOUBLED. Conveniently, they now offer an $7.99/mo plan—with ads. Disney knows they can make more off of you by selling ads.
