  1. I should’ve cancelled, but my kids love it. The I get an email saying they are limiting devices and now my kids can’t all watch. Fuck them!

  2. I bundle with ESPN and Hulu. I still watch more than I did Netflix for the course of a year.

  3. I doubt Disney cares that they lost subscribers if they’re making more money from the subscribers they have left. Kind of like how people like me no longer go to Disneyland but Disney doesn’t care because the people who still go paid twice as much

  4. And they just got rights to Taylor Swift’s concert movie so all of that money and more is coming back in a month

  5. Time for me to sail the seas. Fuck Disney and Netflix for limiting account sharing.

  6. I dropped the Disney bundle last summer. I only used it to catch up on marvel but that is mostly a letdown now anyways. Don’t care to go back for a cost increase.

  7. I got it for a month. Watched all the Oscar movies that were on it and cancelled. Not worth it for a single guy like me. Might be different if I had kids.

  8. Funny that Disney loses subscribers but Netflix gains them

  9. Deleted D+ last year. I was burnt out on the Marvel shows and didn’t care about the rest (still haven’t seen Loki 2, What If 2, or Echó) The original shows don’t look interesting and the few animated Disney movies I love; it doesn’t make sense to pay $15 monthly when I could just buy the blu-ray once and own it forever

  10. The titles a bit confusingly worded so to clarify, while they did lose subscribers they are coming closer to actually making profit on their streaming. Basically all streaming services operate at a loss so if Disney can get in the black at all that will be huge for them.

  11. Switched to YouTube TV for Sunday ticket, might go back to Hulu for live tv at some point, but doubt I’ll do the bundle. Disney+ was just an avenue for watching The Simpsons for me.

  12. Good. At least some streaming services feel the pinch from raising prices. I just wish it would happen to Netflix too

  13. More people need to cancel. Nothing will change unless the shareholders get hurt.

    There are other things to do than watch the television.
