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

You are driving your point home there.

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Anything but metric

More than a handful, less then a metric fuckton.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

[–] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 2 weeks ago

Are those biblical droves or Roman droves?

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

Are those doves that drive?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 145 points 2 weeks 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

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 2 weeks 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.

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 2 weeks ago

Of course not. This article was written using vibes.

It's vibe reporting.

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

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

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

Wow someone had a hard-on for Gina

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 weeks ago

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