I'm sure it has nothing to do with the quality of the content. Must be some other reason.

Sounds like all the subscribers that bought the discounted multi year subscriptions at launch are now bouncing.

Good. Fuck this segmented streaming market. Bad for the people who lost their jobs.

Mhm, this is weird. I think they should focus even more on diversity, to unlock the ultimate strength-tier. There's more work to be done and they should double down on activist driven content creation.
I don't see any other way to get back on track.

We both know that's exactly what they will do.

As somebody who loves Disney + and can name a ton of shows that I've enjoyed I can say that as of late I've certainly watched a lot less Disney +....
-Original Content I liked: Big Shot, Mighty Ducks, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Willow
-Still tons of content I might like I haven't watched, my choice
-Lots of really Meh movies from your flagships
If Star Wars isn't leaning into the force-stuff, I'm typically out. All recent Star Wars movies/shows have been more on the disappointment side with a glut of them to watch they've diluted the brand beyond the saturation point for even die hards
Marvel movies/shows have done the same thing Marvel Comics did awhile back.....start rebranding all your successful white super heroes with female/ethnic characters instead and the fanbase fades away.
Thor Love and Thunder was a bad movie, Wakanda 2 was a bad movie, the Eternals was a bad movie, Doctor Strange 2 was decent but not great, Shang Chi was not great
It's essentially like going to a Disneyland theme park......you pay 15$ for a really shitty plain hamburger that would cost 3$ at a high school cafeteria and wonder 1. Why you paid so much and 2. Why they would sell such a shitty product.
The difference is when you're in the theme park you're trapped......ANYBODY can recognize what a shittier deal Disney+ is becoming and the exit button is a click away.

Disney animated movies have been a bust. Almost everyone of them have reported a net loss.

Let's see why this could be:

Haha! They deserve the misery they wrought upon themselves
Disney chief says ABC passed on 'incredibly well-written scripts' that lacked diversity
One of Disney's top bosses has spoken candidly about pilots the company passed on due to a lack of diversity in their scripts.

- Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution went from an $808 million profit to a $10 million loss year on year.
- Linear networks saw operating income decrease 16% which is not good as its the only profitable division of the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution segment.
- Streaming saw losses increase from $593 million to $1.053 billion.
- While Content Sales/Licensing and Other saw losses increase from $98 million to $212 million.

Good. Shitty streaming service.
Thank God, or Baphomet, my daughter doesn't care about princess shit.

Plus the people who got it "free" with various purchases and services. Pretty sure verizon gave away like 6months or such in various deals last year.
If she did, just get the classic stuff and stick it on a Plex server or something like that.

True. Only the classic stuff matters. I for one also like the classic Mickey and Donald stuff, as well as Duck Tales, but the service just isn't worth it as a whole.

Where could kids learn about hating wypipo in cartoons now?! Will someone think of the children?

Fuck Disney. They're bullshit artists and they suck China's dick. Burn. Burn. Burn.
The 30-50 year olds who are their main customers got bored because the content isn't keeping up with their demand.

I'm straight. I'm white. I'm a male. I am not diverse enough to be able to pay for what little content of theirs I want to see. So I sail the high seas.

You're supposed to relate to all characters. It's non-white, non-straight, non-males who are only allowed to relate to seeing their exact selves on the screen. Bigot!

I'm a filthy brown peasant from the Philippines, and I don't give a shit about minorities being represented onscreen. Gimme good stories and characters and I'm a happy camper.
Mmmmm Show me your big lightsaber Luke, it makes me horny.

God damn white supremacy. Better put out a statement talking about how Disney's struggles are a result of systemic oppression. Blaming the audience is a surefire way to win them over.
Wait, they're firing 7,000 employees? I thought Disney+ had like, 7 employees.

Most of the positions are probably bullshit positions like diversity director, diversity cocker spaniel, diversity cockslurper, etc.

I saw the clip about slavery the other day and it is such a huge misrepresentation of actual history is laughable. History is so poorly taught and people accept everything the TV tells them because they don't read and have no ability to think critically.
How does Disney+ have 7000 people working for it? Does that include the production teams of shows?
Edit: I looked it up and I guess it's 7000 from Disney as a whole.

How much does diversity cocksluper pay and what are the benefits im looking to change careers.
Hopefully they fired all straight white people.

Good news.
Disney shouldnt have its own service. Put those movies on other services. Rent them out and make money off that. I share Disney+ with my brothers, but I keep taking a look and there's just nothing. All the new, original content sucks, unless you're a Star Wars-fan or woke. I wish I were hyperboling, but I'm not.

The "elites" should read history books and check what happens when they're so disconnected from the plebe.
I hear the Star Wars shows are fantastic at least. Probably has a lot to do with the current state of the economy too.
They have legions of willing Experts™ to read history books for them and say what they want to hear. For a fee, of course.
