"Wait come back! We'll charge you more!"
More like: "They are already mad at us, might as well push through some unpopular changes now. They'll be mad at something else tomorrow. It's not like there are many alternatives out there."
And sadly I think this is probably correct from a business point of view.
Disney: Why won't they pay to see our trash movies in theaters? Raise streaming prices, that'll learn em.
Unfortunately, that one makes even more sense than the GPs.
My only argument against it is that Disney failed to implement it up to now. So there's no reason for them to suddenly discover it.
What is a GP?
General pop?

" Company says Disney+, Hulu and ESPN price rises were planned before uproar over Kimmel’s suspension prompted calls to cancel "

That's 20%. What could they possibly offer in return for an extra 20%
porn. Minnie gets nasty.
"D-do I have to?..."
"You wanna be star, don't you? Then take it off!"
I would pay so much for porn with professional production quality.
There's sites you can go to for professional porn for free
What is your poison?
I mean, Hollywood level production quality. Full multi season series with actual plots and everything. Just peppered with some fan service. Kinda like GoT but with more than just nude scenes.
