    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
