    Nothing in the article mentions how many people actually unsubbed…

      Only Disney has those numbers, and releasing them would tank the stock that’s already dipping.

      There is zero reason for them to admit what is happening.

      Also of note, trump is pushing for it to go from quarterly to (I think) annual reports, so companies will be able to hide this stuff for longer, the whole time doing insider trading.

      Because Newsweek is a rag. If they reported that the sky was blue, I’d go outside and check myself

      It’s because nobody but Disney has that data, and they stopped sharing sub numbers because it fucks with stock price too much.

      Talkin out their ass seems to be Newsweek’s brand identity these days.

      We’ll never know exactly how many. I suppose there’s a way for outsiders to estimate it, but that won’t happen for weeks or months. Disney certainly won’t tell the truth over this.

      Oh, actually, I think the subscription numbers are reported to shareholders quarterly, so maybe we’ll see something by the end of the year. It’s not required, they could just not report it, or they might do some creative accounting to hide the actual numbers, so it’s still not reliable, imo.

      I guess we’ll see the numbers in quarterly reports. If they release them, as the orange cunt babbled something about not needing those from companies recently.

      There’s a guy in the comments who posted a picture of an unsubscribe email.

      So… at least one person.

      How do you propose a journalist reveal numbers only Disney has access to?

      How many people unsubbed isnt the point. The point is that you clicked. They did the same bait articles when Disney fired Gina Carano, and “the right” were all saying they were cancelling disney plus. I look around at the comments, and they are all pretty much the exact same. Just the political leanings have switched. Its both hilarious and incredibly sad at the same time.

      Let me guess without opening: it is based twitter screenshots are quotes from users who are supposedly cancelled their subscription

      But people are talking about it on Twitter, and what happens on Twitter is more real than reality itself!
