Don't do it please folks. It starts with movies now, I knew Black Widow was going to get hit by this.

It ends with series being released under this scheme. Want to watch the next episode of Loki? Pay us $5 or wait a month after the last episode gets released - hope it won't get spoiled for you!!!

This is just a terrible practice and people are rewarding a monopolistic giant. If you think it won't go to other providers like Netflix or HBO you're deluding yourselves. This is a trial balloon, one that's gone overwhelmingly well.

Realistically, shouldn't you be happy other people are paying Disney more? These "whales" are directly subsidizing you and the income stream will drive additional content. There is no requirement for you to pay, unlike an across the board cost increase.

I understand what he's worried about, even if you don't. The "whales" also helped subsidize freemium mobile games, and the lure of chasing those whales turned the freemium mobile games into the travesty that they've become. Whether he's right or not, I don't know; but the OP is worried this model is a stepping stone toward that.
