I pay $9/month on a special offer (which I get almost every time I cancel) for Hulu, HBO, Disney w/ads and will last for 6 months and then i’m sure it will go up and I’ll cancel again. But HBO alone growing up in the 90s was around $12 or $15 and Disney probably around $10. Generally my middle class family only enjoyed the free preview weekends. People saying this stuff don’t remember what premium cable and add-on prices were like decades ago…

Yeah. Im not saying these people don't have a point, but $22 for all of Hulu and Disney on demand is WAY better than the like $60 we paid in 2000 for dozens of channels we never watched, like 5 we did, and no on demand.
