Nothing in the article mentions how many people actually unsubbed...

You are driving your point home there.

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

It's not that bad. But, really quick, how many droves in a fuckton?

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 5 points 1 month ago

Anything but metric

More than a handful, less then a metric fuckton.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

[–] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago

Are those biblical droves or Roman droves?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Are those doves that drive?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 149 points 1 month ago

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

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

thier stocks did drop 7%.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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

So... at least one person.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Of course not. This article was written using vibes.

It's vibe reporting.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow someone had a hard-on for Gina

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Muscle mommy? Yeah, a little bit... Kinda fat now though... lol I wonder what Ill get down votes for on this comment... lol.

I thought she was hot before I realized she was a nazi

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

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