I agree but ... why would they do that when the vast majority currently paying will keep paying and live with the ads. Those that won't will either cancel (based on the Netflix account sharing experience, this will be small) or pay the higher fee. There's no way they let people watch for free.

Because it's the right thing to do and those greedy shits make a fortune off of ads and don't need our money and okay I know, I know, MORE MONEY. Greedy shits. I mean.. wouldn't the ads be more valuable if they knew more people were watching? Or something?

Look, I'm just trying to get us all free Disney+ here, okay? Help me out here. :)
