I think this chart might be a bit dated, I'm fairly certain Disney has taken full control of Hulu, not 67%

I wouldnt say Im even trying to boycott, but I could care less about literally everything under that umbrella except for Pixar, and I havent seen a new Pixar movie in probably 10 or more years.
What the fuck does Winnie the Pooh Workbook even mean?

Because Newsweek is a rag. If they reported that the sky was blue, I’d go outside and check myself
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 hours 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.

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.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
We’ll never know. 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 2 hours 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.

I saw this suggestion on the site that shall not be named.
Find a Nexstar or Sinclair owned channel, note the advertisers in there, and start shaming them for paying money to advertise on those networks. Literally 50% of their revenue comes from ads so gutting that would make a difference

Yeah, pressure at all levels.
You can also look at a local station’s website and see advertising partners. Not the little fish that buy 1-2 ads a year for a local business, the ones that get their ads ran the most and in the best timeslots.
That’s where pressure is best applied on affiliates

Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

I’m all for Disney getting the cancellations they deserve, but articles like this one are entirely sensationalist. No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.

Newsweek is shit. most of their articles are just left wing hopium with no substance whatsoever.

Quarterly earnings…
183 million Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, an increase of 2.6 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025
128 million Disney+ subscribers, an increase of 1.8 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025
thewaltdisneycompany.com/the-walt-disney-company-…
But internally they monitor this metric on a day-to-day metric, people are absolutely losing their shit over the cancellation at Disney.
Cort@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Oh shit, and the current fiscal quarter ends in like a week, so we should hear about the numbers near the first week of November.

Netflix is the only one I have left now, and that’s only because I share the account with multiple people, so it’s more like 1/4 of a subscription. If I cancelled they would end up with more subscribers.

Funny, you guys didn’t want to boycott ABC when they fired conservatives for things they said off screen, in fact people like Kimmel celebrated it.
What’s changed?
oyo@lemmy.zip 1 hour ago
Kimmel said nothing remotely celebratory. He literally condemned the violence and mildly suggested the right was using his death to score political points. (AKA the truth which you can’t deny.)
Barr said “conservative” things? You mean absolutely vile racist shit? Yeah I guess that tracks. There’s one little fucking difference though, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT didn’t call for her firing. ABC can fire whoever they want, but you have to be fucking blind to not see the government putting their hand on the scale here. That’s blatantly unconstitutional.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 24 minutes ago
Where did I say Barr said “conservative things”? You literally just made something up and then had a go at me for it lol
Kimmel flat out lied and said that the shooter of Charlie Kirk was “one of their own” in regards to “MAGA”. He said this to push his liberal leftist political ideology, to paint the shooter as a “MAGA”. We know with 100% certainty, and had known for a long time before Kimmel said this, that he was a leftist. His own parents told us this. His friends and colleagues said this. His trans furry boyfriend’s text conversations confirmed this (as if the existence of a trans furry boyfriend didn’t already confirm it lol).
Kimmel blatantly lied, on public tv, to push his political ideologies.

What vile thing did Jimmy Kimmel say? Please quote him accurately. And if the vile thing is just him quoting what Trump said, we shouldn't hold that against Kimmel.

The paradox of tolerance. You’re quoting an racist remark - there’s no need to tolerate intolerance as the social contract is broken.

Of course you go straight to that trash. Liberals all over have been celebrating the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, so I guess the social contract is broken and now all liberals shouldn’t be tolerated?
