The guy I work with still thinks defragging solves everything, so might wanna try that.

Well Europe was whining to Netflix and YouTube to down grade video quality to lessen the burden on providers. Assuming Disney is doing it for the same reason.

I thought Europe was supposed to have better internet than us?

Not sure why they bothered, I was reading that the average data use is up, but the peaks are lower as everyone isn't coming home from work and switching on Netflix at the same time , its more spread out. Nice excuse to save money though I guess.

thats ~$250-400m/month (depending on mix of annual vs monthly) in fees Disney is pulling in every month for Disney+, or $3-5 billion a year. For a streaming service with almost no new content, albeit a massive back catalog especially good for kids and quarantine.

Crazy.

Like most people who have a Verizon plan we got 12 free months of Disney+ so they won't be getting any money from us until 2021. I imagine that's a noticeable chunk of the userbase.

Which means 7 million of those Disney+ subscribers are fraudulent via Verizon. I'm looking for additional numbers now via promotional packages. but off the top, a solid 5-7m are fake.

7m is quite a large chunk to start off with debunking the spronk narrative though.

Everything is fine though because Disney lied about how many subscribers they have.

That's gotta count for something toward cash flow right? Ain't that how Wallstreet works?

Fake is not really the right term, but you’re right you can’t apply the standard rate to all of those subs. There’s no way Verizon isn’t paying disney something for those subs. But also a lot of people bought the reduced price 3 year thing too

Behind the scenes mandalorian show is garbage Hollywood reporter style round tables. Watch prop culture instead.

same here, every customer of the #1 ISP (Deutsche Telekom) gets six months of free Disney+. Both cell phone contracts and landline contracts apply.
