Yeah, I sure wouldn't still have Disney+ if it wasn't bundled with my cable / internet subscription.

Which makes you wonder if getting bundles with the largest cable providers wasn't Disney's actual growth plan, or if not, if they'll quietly kill those deals once the individual monthly rate is a sufficient multiple of the 'wholesale' rate Disney is charging Charter or Comcast or Cox.

If I hadn't dumped them after the ABC debate, I would have with this.

Their business model as far as it is affected me personally...is essentially make less of what I want (Star Wars and MCU), make the few show that they do make just plain fucking awful and now raise the price.

Yeah, not for me.

What content are they providing for that price? A bunch of gay overpriced failures? I don't understand what they think the value proposition i when the blast of new shows are behind them now (Mando/Andor/etc.)

They announced that they are making fewer shows from now on so that in theory they will be better shows. The reality is that they can't afford to make a lot of shows anymore because each one costs 200 million and they all flop.

This just seems like Kickstarter with extra steps. In the 'old days' companies used to have to produce the product first before they charged for it.

Watched DP and Wolverine. Cancelled sub and specified that I am tired of progressive agendas at the expense of quality and relatable stories.

Movie was good. If it was the end of the series, it was a good note to go out on.

This is the same company that is trying to use TV shows as it's primary vehicle to create major big budget movies.

It's all ass backwards.

Movies always made the shows. Shows making the movies (or failing miserably at it) was only ever out of desperation.

i don't think they have cracked down on sharing subs that hard yet either, i imagine it'll spike back up and these numbers will just make it go faster. end of the day though there is no reason to sub to D+ unless you have kids in the 3-10 year old range and they just want to watch bluey and disney movies all day, once they are past that stage its a service for nobody except disney freaks

Still no ragerts on cancelling my subscription. The only subs I have left are CR and Netflix, and I may drop the latter soon. Watching NCIS through whatever they just got, but not really much there that I can't get elsewhere anymore.

3rd quarter of their streaming business being profitable though, with over 120 million subs. They project a modest decline in subs over the fiscal year.

Price increases and the end of some promotions were mentioned among the reasons for the decline / expected declines.
