Their current Disney-only streaming service is $6 a month, for reference. So you're paying an extra $7 for Hulu and ESPN

$6 a month to the actual content creators. $100 a month to the monopoly that owns the 30 year old last mile of cable.

Disney+ is different than the current service, and has not launched yet: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/disney-streaming-faq-price-rele...

I think it just adds Marvel live action to the current service. Apart from that seems the same content to me?

Everyone's talking about Disney+ like it's some mythical streaming service yet to be revealed that you can't already get as Disney Life.

If you want to know what Disney+ will be like, presumably look at Disney Life.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Disney Life is only available in the UK and Ireland. Disney+ will be available to a much wider audience.

It adds Marvel, Star Wars, and Fox content.

Notably it includes 30 seasons of the Simpsons.

Notably it includes 8 notable seasons of the Simpsons.

Now we’re pretending season nine wasn’t good? That’s surely taking things too far because even season ten is quite solid imo
