Disney+ Subscribers Consider Canceling Subscriptions Due to “Ridiculous” Issue

Some Disney+ users are fed up with a new issue that is causing frustration with their subscriptions to the streaming service. Disney+ has been around since 2019 and has amassed around 150 million subscribers, but not everyone is happy. Last fall, Disney+ began cracking down on password sharing, similar to other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, in an effort to boost subscription numbers. However, users on the Disney+ Reddit page have noticed that this crackdown has intensified recently.

A popular post on the Disney+ Reddit page discusses the dreaded “You’ve used all your ‘I’m Away’ requests” screen that is causing headaches for users. While this screen is designed to prevent unauthorized streaming, users have reported encountering issues even when not sharing passwords or after updating their household information on the device. This has led to frustration and confusion among subscribers, especially those who travel or have multiple family members using the service.

Some users have expressed their disappointment with the new policy, citing problems with the app itself, including freezing, crashing, and skipping scenes. These issues have caused some users to consider canceling their subscriptions, as they feel they are not getting value for their money. The post on the Reddit page has quickly become one of the most popular posts of the year, indicating that this issue is resonating with many subscribers and needs to be addressed by Disney+.

While the crackdown on password sharing is unlikely to go away, users are calling for improvements to be made to the implementation of the policy and the functionality of the app. It remains to be seen how Disney+ will respond to these concerns raised by its subscribers.
