Many platforms for streaming movies and series, and Disney+ is no exception, They are not having the best of times. We have already analyzed this at length on previous occasions, so in this case we will stop to mention that they first saturated a market that did not have room for so many services, and then thought that the numbers they reached during the coronavirus pandemic (yes , the one that made we all had to stay indoors for a while), will remain unchanged once normalcy is restored. Yes, right around the time when people could go out again and therefore no longer needed digital entertainment services.

From those dusts these sludges, of course. When the situation began to normalize and it became clear that there was no cake for so many diners, orders began to come. disrupting productions, raising prices, hacking shared accounts (something that the same platforms have been promoting on their social networks until recently…), the deterioration of the conditions of subscription plans, advertising…

Anyway, what once seemed to be the best solution to stop downloading protected content, is becoming an increasingly unpleasant ecosystem for its users. This, of course, explains both the growing rejection of platforms and the increasingly identified increase in downloading movies and series, something that does not happen with music, a very different market if we talk about what the services offer .

Those responsible for these services are aware of this situation and their main concern is of course the loss of the users they have today. Are they acting to avoid it? Much less than they should in my opinion. Of course, at least they decided money wasn’t an issue… more or less. So as we can read in TWSJ, Disney+ will allow you to temporarily suspend your subscription. In this way, if the user does not want (or cannot) pay for one or several months, he will of course not have access to the service, but he will keep his profiles, lists, personalization settings and of course he will be able to renew the subscription when he wants.

A suspended subscription is less bad than a lost subscription, they must have thought about Disney+ and that makes sense. Now it looks more like a patch in the context of services that are increasingly less valued by users than a solution that will take us away (and of course this happens with other services as well) a bad taste in our mouths that we have had for some timeafter constantly increasing and decreasing the prices of what our subscription plan still offers us.
