I just want to pay for a Disney+ subscription and watch Disney legally, but my geographic location doesn't allow it. A 17-year-old fan's struggle.

I wanted to share a bit of a frustrating situation I'm in. I'm 17, living in St. Petersburg, Russia, and I’ve recently discovered how amazing Disney’s animation is.

For the past two months, I finally got a chance to dive into it. A guy I met online from Spain let me use his Disney+ account for a few dollars, and I spent weeks hunting for a VPN that wouldn't be flagged. I finally found one, and it was the best time ever. I watched Amphibia and Star vs. the Forces of Evil for the first time, and honestly? I’m blown away. These shows brought so much light into my daily routine.

But a few days ago, the "magic" hit a wall. My country’s authorities blocked the only VPN that actually worked with Disney+. I’ve tried dozens of others, but Disney's security is too good. Nothing works anymore.

Here’s the irony: I’m sitting here with money in my hand, ready to pay for a legal subscription. I want to be a legitimate fan. I want to support the animators and the platform. But I can't. Not because I’m trying to pirate anything, but simply because I was born on the wrong side of the map.

I’m not posting this to ask for technical fixes or "magic" VPNs. I know the situation with sanctions and global politics is complicated, and a 17-year-old kid can't change that. I just wanted to put this out there into the world. It’s a strange feeling when you want to do the right thing and be a loyal customer, but the world just tells you "No" because of your location.

Anyway, thanks, Disney. I hope one day the doors will be open for everyone again.

The subtitles on Daredevil are atrocious. Wth is going on?

Are they using AI to write these? Is nobody proofreading this? There has been SO many mistakes with sentences and words.

Episode three has been worse than I've ever seen

$80 Subscription through iTunes... Anyone know if it charges the $80 or more at renewal?

I have the original $80 pricing through iTunes, it still shows at $80, does anyone know if that is charged at $80 still or just shows as the original price but actually charged at a higher rate?

Hot take: Disney+ needs a real 'commuter mode' instead of more autoplay and promo clutter

Not the flashiest feature request, but as someone who travels a lot and watches on an iPhone in 5 to 20 minute bursts, Disney+ feels oddly built for couch binges instead of real life.

Here is my hot take: make an optional commuter mode that gets me back into what I was watching fast, quietly, and with fewer distractions. Stop treating the home screen like a billboard.

Specifically:

- Turn off autoplay previews everywhere when commuter mode is on, not just for Kids profiles.

- Put a bigger, cleaner Continue Watching row up front so it is the first thing you see.

- Add a one-tap Resume that remembers my last audio and subtitle settings per show.

- Give a simple scene or chapter jump, or at least a better scrubber, so dozing off on a flight does not turn into three minutes of guesswork.

I am not asking for tech support or missing content fixes. The UX has just gotten noisy and makes quick sessions annoying. I can live with recommendations, but the constant motion and promo tiles actively slow down the app's main job: press play, watch, stop.

Anyone else feel like Disney+ is trying too hard to be a social feed instead of a video player?
