    There's gotta be research that shows how few people unsubscribe after price hikes, either because they legitimately like the service and don't mind, or they don't want the hassle of canceling. And that the latter may be true more than you think.

    I'm in on the bundle - mostly for Hulu - but I imagine if you are really into some of the stuff ESPN plus shows, it's not a big cost. I can't believe people have time to watch out of market baseball games and fork over whatever the MLB charges.

    ESPN+ is worth it for the live coverage. Not so much the limited-access stories, which have slipped noticeably in quality the past couple years.

    It’s a no-brainer as part of the Disney Plus bundle.

    The hell that won't eventually get passed into the Disney bundle. Even Pinocchio couldn't be that blatant. I'm expecting yet another bump in my Hulu rates at the end of the year because I'm certain there's no way to sever the ESPN portion.

    Streaming, which promised ala carte pricing, has now become cable without the guy in the van wasting an entire day installing a box on your TV.

    And with the added benefit of not having to see cable guy ass crack.

    Degens need the ESPN+, too. All those USL2 games with 76 people in the stands.

    Since my club has been relegated to the Championship, ESPN+ is useful for watching Watford get skunked by Reading or some such shit.

    After the many seasons of not getting to watch Wigan on a normal TV, I can't wait for ESPN+ matches this season!!
