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

Best ride clear of that

You are driving your point home there.

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

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

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 5 points 3 days ago

Anything but metric

More than a handful, less then a metric fuckton.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

[–] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 3 days ago

Are those biblical droves or Roman droves?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Are those doves that drive?

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

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 33 points 3 days 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 2 days ago

thier stocks did drop 7%.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 11 points 3 days 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.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Of course not. This article was written using vibes.

It's vibe reporting.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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

So... at least one person.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow someone had a hard-on for Gina

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days 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.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago

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