Can I also u literally change my subscribers agreement with them after the deal has been made?

If you were able to do so would the result not be the same. We dont accept your terms update so we and terminating your subscription. Essentially the same that you can do.

Not the same though. A lot of people are just too lazy to cancel. If Disney had to terminate all the subscriptions that would probably have prevented this type of behavior

I think that would actually be a great regulatory move; If they change the terms then they must cancel your subscription.

You'd have to elect to resubscribe with the new terms. Bonus points if it has to be the normal subscription flow, not some kind of one click to resubscribe.

I'd bet the pressure of instant drop in revenue and the likelihood of people being less motivated to resubscribe would kill some of this behavior.

Remember that the last time Disney fucked up a MASSIVE number of subs cancelled via Apple’s 1-click cancellation. Which Disney promptly exited from.
