This is the best summary I could come up with:
Starting on November 1st, Disney Plus will begin restricting password sharing.
Disney has not provided many details on how it plans to enforce this policy — its email merely states that “we’re implementing restrictions on your ability to share your account or login credentials outside of your household”.
The announcement comes over a month after Disney’s Q3 earnings call, where CEO Bob Iger said that the company was “actively exploring” ways to address shared accounts.
Disney Plus is just the latest streaming service to attempt to tackle password sharing.
Netflix accounts are restricted based on a user’s IP address; subscribers, depending on the plan they select, have the option of adding additional members to their accounts for an additional fee.
But hey, if it’s any consolation: Canadian users now have access to the cheaper ad-supported tier.

I thought this was about internal security policy until I remembered that they have a streaming service.

I get Disney+ because I got some deal from my ISP. Outside of Andor, there is no series worth watching on Disney+. I've watched through all of the Marvel stuff I care about (or I already own my favorites like Guardians of the Galaxy). If I wasn't getting it for free I certainly wouldn't pay for it.
I'd order the big streaming services like this: Apple+, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, then Disney+ way down that list.
I think Apple+, even with a limited catalogue has some of the best content going.
Simpsons, Futurama, the bear, modern family, mandalorian, atlanta and it's always sunny are all also on Disney plus and absolutely top tier content
Obviously you should do whatever you want with your money but if you're sleeping on some of the ones I suggested, definitely check them out before cancelling!
Are these on Disney+?? I thought the Bear was on Hulu? (Its always sunny, atlana, modern family, the bear, futurama dont show up when I search for them on Disney+). As far as Hulu goes, as long as I can get the blackfriday $.99/mo deal again this year I'll keep them. Ive created a new account each year on blackfriday for the last 3 or 4 years now).
BTW, the Mandolorian is just not great. I liked it at first and I was holding out hope that it would age like wine, but it hasn't held up for me. Ashoka is just bad. Rosario is wooden, the dialogue has these awkward 1-4 second pauses between the lines--where they just look at each other. It doesn't feel natural. Maybe its just bad acting.
Oh, might be different for me since I'm in canada -- fair enough
Let's agree to disagree on the mandalorian, I think it's got the best vibe. It's just fucking cool
Futurama is also on the Internet Archive.
The new Futurama is so bad that I wish it was never renewed.
These services really seem to want me to uninstall them
This guy looks like he’s gonna try and have an intellectual convo with Dr Jones, even though he’s sold his integrity to the Nazi’s at the chance to unleash the true evil power of streaming services. But Dr Jones won’t have it and this guy will be whipped milk before he’s done. The end
