Desperate to attract new subscribers to its Disney+ streaming service (a service that gays 4-year-olds), the Disney Grooming Syndicate has slashed its price to just $1.99 a month.
“The streaming service will offer new and returning subscribers a three-month ad plan for $1.99 per month.” Reports Far Left The Hollywood ReporterThat's an 80% discount off the usual $9.99 monthly price for the same plan. The offer has been running for several weeks and is geared towards Disney boosting subscriber numbers in the fourth quarter.
Of course, there are pitfalls.
The $1.99 offer expires in three months, and after that, you'll be lucky to only be charged the current $9.99 per month, as Disney+ prices are set to increase in October.
The Disney Grooming Syndicate entices parents with sweet perks in exchange for the opportunity to abuse their children.
Rewards include a contest to win a trip on a Disney Cruise Line cruise, a free Marvel Digital Comics bundle, 15% off Disney merchandise from Funko and Loungefly, free emojis from Disney Emoji Blitz, exclusive in-game cosmetics for the all-new “Disney World” main character companion, Nix, and more.

It's a shame there aren't any discounts on child abuse counseling. Let the doll show you where evil Disney touched you.
In addition to its stalled streaming service, Disney is also dealing with a devastating dispute with DirecTV: The pay-TV company can no longer offer Disney networks (including ABC, ESPN, NatGEO, Disney Channel and A&E) to its 11 million subscribers, leading to a complaint to the FCC that could have major ramifications.
With streaming losing millions of customers each quarter from pay-TV providers like DirecTV, providers are finally pushing back against Disney's expensive bundling demands.
“Bundling” is why cable/satellite TV bills are so high. Cable and satellite TV providers are essentially being blackmailed by huge multinational entertainment corporations like Disney, who demand that if they want to offer ABC-TV and ESPN to their customers, they also offer the lower quality Disney networks that no one watches, such as Disney Channel, NatGeo, Disney Junior, NatGeo Wild, Freeform, Lifetime, FX, FXX, etc.
This is why cable TV is so expensive, and why networks like CNN, Comedy Central, and MTV can survive without viewers.
DirecTV has fired back at Disney, arguing that “bundling” is illegal and harmful to consumers. And it is. It always has been. DirecTV didn't care when there were no streaming alternatives to steal customers. But now they do. So…
Disney is currently losing monthly streaming fees from 11 million DirecTV subscribers, which likely translates into a loss of around $100 million per month.
As explained here, if DirecTV wins, it will all come crashing down.
