Yarr harr fiddle dee dee

Hilarious that these subscription companies learned nothing from the cable industry that they’re disrupting

I canceled my subscription right after I got that email. I don’t use it enough anyway. I’ll just sail the high seas if a new show that I want to watch ends up there.

What a weird way to thank someone

I really don’t want to have to go back to torrenting, but it seems that’s the only option if they keep pushing like this. I’m a camera operator, I work in the industry, my livelihood depends on movies being made. But racketeering the viewers is not how you’ll sustain an industry. Sure it’ll raise your quarterly report but it will damage your business deeply. Producers are cutting themselves a slice bigger every day, both from the viewers and the workers (look at the writers and actors strikes). We can’t make art in a system dictated by instant guaranteed returns and viewers aren’t stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars to watch the same low effort shit over and over. The film industry NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll increase the price to make up for it.

I solved it by cancelling and getting a raspberry pi, installing Plex media server, and just pirating the movies and shows I wanna watch

"New Features" ah yes. Actually it's an upgrade to a new features plan. They are doing you a favor. The new plan is completely free and you even gain streams from other platforms, also free. Yarr!!!

This totally sucks, though I have to say I am impressed that they spelled it out so clearly. I can't believe they showed it to you like that instead of burying it in some legalese/fine print, across multiple emails or something

So glad I built a PLEX server.

The en-shittification saga continues. 💩

What innovation! Digital shrinkflation! Otherwise known as a scam.

Time to pick up a DVD player and look around for some movies for sale.

They alerted the deal. Pray that they don't alter it any further

Way to go to fight against piracy 🤡

Yarrrr, sail the seven seas with the rest of us!

Interesting customer retention move for a service that hasn't been able to make much new content for the past six months and is about to see its new releases dry up.

"Thank you for being loyal, here's how we are going to fuck you over"

Total bullshit

Don't forget the whole point of the rebrand was to sell off the actual HBO content and fill Max with shitty reality TV. It's the exact same thing only they don't send you an email about it.

This is not shrinkflation. This is fleecing.

Shrinkflation is a scheme that takes subtlety to pull off. There's some level of artistry involved in increasing prices in a way that is unnoticed by the customer.

This is so unsubtle it doesn't even deserve to be called shrinkflation.

I left when they added all the discovery+ stuff. So much trash/clutter was included with that.

Canceled today after I got this email. Let em burn
