Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel Axe
Disney Plus subscribers quit in droves over Jimmy Kimmel axe
If you're boycotting, here you go. Ahoy!
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?
Studios should not own TV channels.
I was surprised to see Fox, looked into it on Wikipedia, and now I'm even more confused between Fox Entertainment, Fox Corporation, 21st Century Fox, Fox News [Channel], …
i always look at these seriously and then realize i havent subbed to a single one ever
Lol me either. Their services are not nearly as good as the unauthorized streaming sites.
I'll miss Kermit, but I was already skipping most of that.
I don't even like Jimmy Kimmel, but I cancelled too. Don't fuck with the 1st amendment.
The only reason I've never canceled is because I've never subscribed.
But I wish I had something to cancel in protest of the egregious 1st amendment violations.
Track down the advertisers on your local ABC affiliate stations and cancel them!
I also don't subscribe, but have paid to watch the occasional Marvel movie. I'm happy to pass on whatever they've got lined up next if it gets them to take their role in fostering free speech more seriously.
Would signing up for the free trial and then instantly canceling it count?
"Freedom of speech for me, not for thee"
yep. not gonna subsidize them caving to fascism.
Oh no, people are ditching the overpriced streaming service?
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
Here's Sinclair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
Here's Nexstar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Nexstar_Media_Group
Edit: *David Smith, son of the founder and currently CEO of Sinclair, has a hilarious entry-
In an August 1996 prostitution sting, Smith was charged with committing an "unnatural and perverted sex act" (oral sex) in a Sinclair company vehicle. He was sentenced to community service, which was fulfilled by having Sinclair station WBFF produce reports on a local drug counseling program.[14][15]
Aaaaand not so funny-
Prior to Ajit Pai's appointment under the first Donald Trump presidential administration as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Smith met with Pai to discuss deregulation of the FCC's media ownership rules. This meeting, plus Sinclair having been granted additional access to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, resulted in accusations that Sinclair was currying favor with the Trump administration in exchange for deregulation of the industry.[16][17][18] Smith met with Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election year, in which he told Trump, "We are here to deliver your message."[3]
Maybe I’m just cynical, but I feel like everyone cancelling is going to forget about this in a few months when the news cycle moves on and a new Star Wars show comes out or something.
Has a disorganized boycott like this ever worked? (honest question)
A lot of us are only here because we wanted to join a consumer action against Reddit. The first few months I was on Lemmy every post was about how Reddit users were fleeing in droves and we were going to show those big bad corporate clowns over at Reddit not to mess with us and Reddit would collapse within weeks.
Welp. Reddit is doing just fine, so yeah, color me cynical as well. I like it better here though.
I agree and I thought more people would be frustrated enough to leave Reddit. But there are enough of us here now that there is an alternative to Reddit that is viable. Hopefully that becomes common knowledge and they realize leaving Reddit doesn’t mean not having a community, so they feel encouraged to switch.
Reddit is a wasteland where every informative post is now marked as DELETED by those of us who torched our donated content as we left. It's full of garbage posts now, and mods who don't care.
Do they still manage to attract ad revenue, sure, so does X after Musk turned it into a fascist turd bath. Is it as valuable as it used to be? Not by a longshot.
Reddit had no monetary cost.
It's much easier to stick to a boycott when it requires a layer of active acceptance and payment to acquiesce.
Reddit is just... there. A query on basically any search engine is going to serve you up reddit links, and clicking one of them costs you nothing.* Since you don't have to commit to the decision there's far less resistance to backsliding.
*Yes, I know, there is a privacy and personal content/traffic cost. We both know that's not what I'm talking about.
A big plus is that I can actually interact with people here in a usually lighthearted manner. You can still find that on Reddit, but it is extremely hard to do now unless you have some extremely niche interests.
For me, it’s not about boycott to affect. I just don’t want to give my money to what I do not believe. It’s a personal choice, I can’t control anything, I am just trying to live my life. This is a small thing I can control.
It’s like why delete my Reddit account to be here.
Ye I don't want my money to support fascism, simple as that.
I ended up being a bit of a hypocrite by not cancelling Hulu when Disney bought them. I gave money to Big Mouse. Not anymore.
The very personal and highly disorganized boycott of American goods and services by Canadians is definitely having an effect on several sectors including tourism, alcohol, and media.
Tourism alone has resulted in a loss of about 30 BILLION.
Because the regime and his sycophantic cunts are fucked and can suck our collective dick.
Tourism alone has resulted in a loss of about 30 BILLION.
fam in vegas is looking to move because the writing is on the wall. foreigners coming to gamble in this shit? yeah let's go to munich 1940 for a happy time. :|
Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.
Yes. Boycotts don't need to be organized to be effective. Some (def not all, and not usually Disney for that matter) to listen to fan and customer feedback.
Companies track their income trends extremely closely. Even a blip of 1% will be reported on in every shareholder meeting and need to be explained.
worked?
Depends on your expectations.
Will they say f'it and bring Kimmel back in the face of the government shutting them down?
No
Will they consider a 10% loss, even if ephemeral, in their next action? Sure. But they've already made this calculation, they already knew what was on the line and they weighed it against what the administration was going to do for/against them and it made financial sense.
I'm down to bash big corp as much as the next person, but this is a failure of the people in letting the government do whatever they want. If the people aren't going to stand against the government, why do we expect the corporations to?
Apparently they didn't. Top executives are both pissed at Bob Iger and scrambling to figure out how to right the ship.
No, these boycotts have never worked.
Cancel but setup stremio + alldebrid at the same time.
The suspension of the show has been met with condemnation and praise from both sides of the political spectrum.
Who on the left is praising it? Is this deliberate bullshit by Newsweek, or just careless copyediting?
It's really sloppy wordmanship but I think what it's supposed to be saying is that the news has been met with both condemnation and praise from across the political spectrum aka condemnation from the left, and praise from the right. So technically the statement is true, but clumsily written.
I've already started my journey to replace all streaming services with jellyfin anyway so i will be cancelling mine too.
This jimmy kimmel business just sweetens the deal.
got an old raspberry pi set up as a jump box with a tailscale vpn so i can remotely power up my pc from anywhere and watch anything i have downloaded. Just need to get a dedicated server and storage, either nas or internal in a larger tower. But for now its working really well.
Do you have a good, idiot-friendly, guide on how to set up JellyFin? I tried once but wasn't able to get anything to stream.
Not OP but I used
which I thought was pretty easy to setup.
Oh! In addition, if you want to access it from a tv or mobile device you install the client on those devices and point them at the same IP and port. My lg tv has jellyfin in the store, firesticks have it, play store (i assume apple app store too) amd the server can be managed from there too.
You can set up users and allow each user to acces different content in the settings which is good if you have kids and want to keep them from watching john wick 😜
I've had trouble getting Jellyfish to stream anything. The error message it gives you in the client GUI make it sound like the problem is client-side, but it always ends up being permissions on the server (for me, anyway).
I ended up having to move my media drive into /mnt/
<drive>
(rather than /mnt/<username>
/<drive>
) and allow Jellyfin to access that folder - the Jellyfin service needs permissions.The Jellyfin log files will show you that is having trouble accessing the files of this is the issue.
Perhaps its been made easier now as i don't think i did much more than running the installer. My pc is on windows though, my server will likely be using some version of linux. I want to learn linux but need my main pc too much to make it a daily driver.
I used these instrctions for the windows installer
(Click the windows link there)
Run the installer (can set it as a service but thats only necessary if you want to run it on boot instead of after login. Afaik.)
Once installed you can access it via your local ipaddress:8096 (eg http://192.168.1.100:8096/)
From there you can head to management in the menus and set up your folders for movies/tv shows etc. You just make some folders somewhere on your pc and point it at those. Download all your content and organise it in there. Jellyfin is quite good at dividing things up into individual series and uses meta data to fill in names and thumbnails etc. And you can select the 3 dots when hovering over any thumbnails to edit the metadata or add custom thumnails etc.
I just tinker with it though. Decide what settings you want to use. I still need to set up https but need to look into self signed certificates and stuff first.
Hope that helps.
Need to stream at home or away from home?
Aoostar makes some really great tiny NAS devices based on the Intel N100/N150 series, and they also have an AMD unit if that's your jam (it's mine). If you buy the one with built in main storage it comes with Windows 11 Pro installed but you can wipe that and install Linux or a dedicated NAS OS if you wish. Or just save money and throw a NVMe SSD in for the OS and a bunch of HDDs for media and go to town.
The best part is you can buy direct from Aoostar, no need to buy from Amazon though they are offered there too.
https://aoostar.com/collections/nas-series
I also like UGREEN's NAS offerings, they come with their own custom NAS OS that supports Docker so you can run all your *arrs and Jellyfin and other server apps as containers. The web-based interface is like using a normal Linux or macOS desktop.
See you on the high seas, matey.
Thanks for the info. These look brilliant! I am more AMD incljned also but ive read that in terms of transcoding media, Intel is better. I have time though. Not gonna buy anything until after christmas.

cyberpunk is now.
Anyone have a guide for remote Jellyfin access running on a Linux server? Been struggling to get it working.
Look into:
Talescale for an easy but limited option.
Wireguard with a dynamic DNS service for something that provides more flexibility with a little set up.
Don't open a publicly facing port unless it's for an encrypted tunnel. If you don't want to open your computer to a lot of threats. Always use an encrypted tunnel when opening something to the Internet.
Depends on how you want to do it: via a VPN like Tailscale, Cloudflare tunnel, etc.
I didn't have a Disney channel to unsubscribe from so I cancelled my Apple subscription.
Fair.
I closed my apple subscription at the time because I don't have any apple devices, but I'd close it again if I could.
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.
A VPN is cheaper and multi-purpose! :)
CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt's Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)
There’s one service still putting out quality content but low overall volume, but mentioning their name on Lemmy is a risky bet. Anyway, piracy is free and can be set up for convenience too.
Edit: it's Apple TV+ that has the best selection of originals IMO. Their volume of content is lower than the big boys though, they don't license 3rd party content. And you can expect to see everyone using Apple devices in shows with a modern setting, way too obvious product placement.
I would like know please
Dropout?
Mention the name, coward
I would very much so like to know, please
Guys I'm depressed, and no I don't and to talk about it
Drop me a PM with the name please
I love the stuff on Apple+ especially the sci-fi stuff…. But I’m still going to sail the 🏴☠️
Mostly because of this
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.
The fact the cancellation page has been seen crashing multiple times, and that so many people are actively posting screenshots of their cancellation does lend credibility to the fact that it's still happening on a large scale, though.
Newsweek is shit. most of their articles are just left wing hopium with no substance whatsoever.
Kind of like the inventor of bitcoin they found?
Australian Faketoshi?
I cancelled my disney+ because of this.
This reminds me to cancel my Disney plus subscription. Anytime I ever actually have a subscription is when there's new episodes of Andor. I'm genuinely baffled as to what other attractor Disney plus has.
Be aware: Newsweek has a history of posting stories that placate and reassure the non-MAGA crowd. I don't 100% trust their intentions as an organization. Kamala Harris was definitely going to win according to Newsweek, the week before the election.
I've said it before, but NW shouldn't be used at all its a tabloid. Kinda disappointed in my fellow lemms that keep using it.
Yeah, unless they cite sources with real numbers I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Almost the entire article here is reposting stuff from Xhitter. That's the best they've got.
In addition to cancelling, which is the MOST important thing:
What about uninstalling their apps?
App providers can see the number of installations on the different platforms (Apple, Roku, Android, etc). That count falling will further raise their disquiet. Leaving an app installed or continuing to use the service before the cancellation is processed could send an unintentional message that maybe this is all just temporary and we'll come back in a couple of weeks after the news cycle plays out.
That shit is pre installed and unremovable for most non-techies using their normal tv os. It’s so annoying too.
The most annoying thing is they put buttons on the remote for services I don't subscribe to. Accidentally press one of those buttons when trying to change the volume? Well I guess we're spending the next 30 seconds opening a streaming service I don't use and then existing out of it (which they make unnecessarily difficult to do) and then finding my way back to what I was watching.
Did that but also removed my account, I was not an active subscriber, but after logging in they push you towards subscribing. AFAIK you can only delelte your account via live chat, be sure to mention Art. 17 GDPR Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’).
Already done. I like Star Wars, but oh the fuck well.
Yarr? 🏴☠️
No, she's a Star Trek character.
Plenty of wretched hives of scum and villainy to get your Star Wars fix.
I got Disney with a telecom package. Then they added a surcharge because Disney raised their price. I cancelled my plan and got the bare bones fiber+mobile plan, got a parrot, grew a beard, cut one of my legs, one of my hands, and got a peg leg and a hook. Best decision.
You should be able to stream it for free here: https://hydrahd.io/
Same. Lots of people like Star Wars. That means there are plenty of Torrents to choose from. I unsubbed a while back and it's really no problem.
I recommend setting up Sonarr and Plex or Jellyfin for fully automated copyright infringement. It's like having a free streaming service that has everything you want to watch as soon as it releases.
Yeah, and even if you did just get it by other means.
I'd quit too, but I never had it to begin with lol
I had an account from when it was free with my phone plan 4 years ago. Jumped through all the hoops to delete it.
You should quit anyway. Just a thought.
Good for you Americans. Don't reactivate even if Kimmel comes back!
Surely resubscribing if they reverse their decision is the strongest signal to go woke or go broke. That there's money in allowing criticism of president, that can go away again if they engage with government censorship in America (of all places) again.
That makes more sense to me. But I don't have a subscription anyway
That's an interesting take, but I don't like to reward mega corporations. They know what makes them go broke, so they should build up that trust again. It's not like their service is essential, so why go back so quickly?
As a Canadian, I've been doing my best to avoid US products and services since January and I don't plan on stopping if 100% of Americans "get the hint" tomorrow.
Clickbait. Friggin article never mentions what"droves" means. I was hoping to find out 1 million people cancelled or something, but it just mentioned a few specific people.
Also, they didn't mention me. :(
Yes, this put me over the edge. I now have zero streaming services for American shows.
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.
I still have Apple TV and Crunchy Roll... Should Apple be cancelled for this?
Canceled that one back when they fired Jon Stewart because he wanted to report on China and Israel
I did
I think Marvel and star wars addicts might find it hard to cancel thier subscriptions, they are so obsessed with these franchised.
Disney is partially responsible for thier consequences, since they donate heavily to the GOP, we know they sustain the gop in FLORIDA, so it is likely they donate to gop national campaigns too.
Imagine actual oligarchs and nazis staying in power because actual oppressed people love stories the oligarchs and nazis control about imaginary oppressed people defeating imaginary oligarchs and nazis too much to stop giving them money.
... and I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
For those that can’t quit the content cold turkey, there are other avenues of consuming that don’t benefit Disney… 🏴☠️
Just weighing in as a reformed Marvel fan and lifelong Star Wars fan: I started keeping local copies of that shit almost a decade ago and recommend to anyone I know to do the same. You never know when a streaming company might decide that it is no longer worth the bandwidth to host it, or if the rights will be transferred to a new service that I won't already have (i.e. all ot them). If you genuinely enjoy almost any media in the modern era you need to have a local copy, because if you don't some corporate entity may just decide to make it lost media on a whim because it becomes only moderately profitable.
I wrote to them and told them that ABC has been my news supplier for decades, but now I'll be switching to NBC. I'll also be cancelling my HULU sub.
As for their broadcast content, I told them that I will either pirate it, or watch it in TIVO, and skip the ads. That's what really hurts them.
All media companies do not serve entertainment as their core business. They are literally nothing more than advertising platforms. That's where 100% of their revenues comes from. The entertainment is just bait, to make us sit on our couch, and hopefully be too lazy too move our fat asses when the ads come on.
So threatening to consume their expensive bait without consuming their revenue-producing ads, really hurts.
I'm sure the CEO got the message
Probably not a great idea to tell Disney in writing you will pirate their content.
Don’t you still pay your cable provider if you TiVo ABC? Cable providers pay retransmission fees to the networks.
It's not a perfect system, but it still hurts them. They won't be satisfied with SOME of the money, they want it ALL.
"Ads" are a health break to mute the volume and close our eyes for a few seconds.
Ads have been one of the most destructive forces on humanity in the last 100 years.
I play the guitar. I once knew a guy that pumped iron through ever commercial break.
None of that is the point. They want the chance to get into your brain, and if you don't even allow the ads to run, then they lose that opportunity.
They paid out all that money, and you're getting it for free. Corporations hate that more than anything.
I do housework during the ads. Get on your feet, get something accomplished, feel like a triumphant victor when returning to couch potato mode :)
I don't even watch Kimmel but the mouse is out
Yeah, I don't watch him often, and when I do, I'm not a fan. But I'll absolutely do whatever I can to express how much I dislike him being cancelled.
A bigger deal to them is the theme parks and cruises.
Not only are those big money makers, they're also easier for news crews to see and report on.
If I was a subscriber, I’d quit. But I’m a pirate instead. Fuck all of ‘em.
Then you're already doing your part.
Yar! Matey! Wish you good wind in your sails!
Right? Couldn't pay me to use Disney. Even Netflix I only liked during the DVD era. Streaming selection was always crap with maybe 1 actual show or movie you wanted to see.
HBO Max or whatever it's called. Hulu and ESPN.
The only language they speak is money. So give them a taste of speaking with money.
I hope they lose everything, and their CEO's have to log in to the internet from a well used and disrespected latrine.
It could cost Bob Iger (Disney CEO) his job. Eisner is already gunning for him again.
Next step: "It is un-American not to have Disney+ in your household. Only members of Antifa or trans people don't have Disney+. It will be mandatory for every patriotic God loving US citizen to have Disney+ in their home and on at least three hours per week. Anyone found not to be watching the party approved level of Disney programming will be taxed $21.99 per month and the proceeds put into a new 'Mickey Patriot Fund'."
The irony of Andor being on D+ is not lost on me.
'Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.'
Nemik teaching us to chip away at the pillars which hold up fascism.
We cancelled ours.
Do we have any numbers?
Nope, just thoughts and prayers.
I’ve seen some behind the scenes numbers for a different streaming service when “people are canceling in droves”. For every article I saw, I never once saw a significant number of cancellations.
So, I would take these articles with a grain of salt
Did any of them involve a massive government scandal involving violation of basic rights supposedly guaranteed by said government?
I'll also take it with a grain of salt, but the difference here is that I personally know people who have cancelled. With prior boycotts I never really did, save for maybe some people shopping at Target less.
You’re right. It’s plausible that this is a big impact for them, but until someone releases actual numbers… I’m heavily suspicious. For whatever reason, these services often get a bump in subscribers when they’re constantly in the news like this.
I’m not sure this level of drop shows much of anything.
I did
Cancelled
I love this for Disney!
I was never a subscriber, and barely care about any of their products, anyway. If I never see another Disney-produced show again, I'll be just fine.
Fuck 'em.
God damn it, I JUST renewed my sub for a whole year............
You can still get back most of the year of you message them. This will give you time to setup a replacement on stremio + alldebrid
Demand your money back. It's bad enough when they are losing future biz, but they'll really hate if they have to give any money BACK.
Hopium. Not enough to matter
I suspect the amount of money they'd need to lose before they change course is actually quite small.
Cowards will be cowards I say, but us simpletons don't understand the high stakes and day to day pressures of a modern multinational corporate conglomerate. They have profit margins, investor boards, and mergers to consider. Heavens! What good is free speech if they don't make more money this quarter than they made last quarter? Please, good people of the Fediverse, won't somebody think of the shareholders?

I can’t unsubscribe, but you bet I can avoid every one of Marvel’s Phase 6 movies next year in protest.
There's nothing like getting stroked by the invisible hand of the free market.
Never much liked Jimmy Kimmel but he earned some brownie points here haha. Not sure any of this counts for a lot, the "droves" number seems to a few twitter accounts that said they cancelled and one that said the website was slow when they tried to do it.
Good!
Hey, did you guys all get the invitation to see the inside of a people powered Disney world heating system?
I heard that it was just a big box with steam tubes running on the top. You just need to people to power it. They call it the Great Accessible Steam Chamber!
Can't wait to see you all there with me powering the world!
They want to listen to MAGAts. Now they get to listen to us.
The right, who have been anti-Disney for years because of them constantly forcing their ideologies and political preference into everything, watching the left, who are the biggest benefactors of Disney’s propaganda and ideologies, now attempt to destroy Disney:
the left who are the biggest benefactors of Disney’s propaganda and ideologies
Trying to explain to everyone at SAG-AFTRA that Disney executives are the real leftists.
But this does beg the question... Is Iron Man a Tankie?
I tell ya, its fucking hilarious seeing the right and left switching sides on this. Back when Gina Carano got fired, the right were all "Cancel disney plus!!!" and the left were like "Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences!!!!". And now its the left crying about free speech, and the right circlejerking "consequences".
Humanity is fucked.
Gina got fired for something she did outside of her job. Jimmy got fired for doing the job he was hired to do, because a government official threatened his employer.
The first amendment is to protect against government censorship, it has no intention to protect you from public outcry. It should have protected Jimmy, but it's irrelevant in the case of Gina.
Gina got fired because she was pointing out that she was getting rape and death threats over not putting pro nouns in her bio. All that all twitter did was delete them. Carr made remarks, but he had no power to do anything. Thats why there is no legal document or order. Because it would be illegal. So the drawing of a conclusion here would be an error. There was no "threat". It would be like me threating you to stop posting here. I have no power to force that to happen. I can say it as much as I want, but who be right to just point and laugh at me.
In any case, it doesnt matter. Its all the same shit with the same arguments, and same "well actually, this is different because....". Gina was right to draw attention to her online attacks, and disney was right to be want to be associated with the way that she went about it, as I think we can all agree it was dumb as fuck to use Jewish people in the analogy. In any analogy in fact.
In the case of Kimmel, hes just not funny. And I wouldnt be surprised if this just all turned out to be just a way to get out of the late night talkshow game by ABC, without breaking any contracts.
Humanity is fucked.
Yep.
Is Gina Carano single? Asking for a friend.
So good, finnaly disney will have to drop their activist productions and start making great content again.
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?
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.
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 did Roseanne say? I know what she said, I want to know if you know.
It doesn’t matter what she said, at all. ABC decided they didn’t like it and chose to fire her…….just like they did with Kimmel. Kimmel and the left celebrated her firing, as you can see in the picture, and now they’re crying that Kimmel got fired for arguably an even worse thing - flat out lying to the public on tv for political reasons.
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.
celebrated
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Did you not read the quotes from Kimmel in the picture in my comment that you replied to?
Nothing in the article mentions how many people actually unsubbed...
DROVES
Damn American units
More than a handful, less then a metric fuckton.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US
Are those biblical droves or Roman droves?
Are those doves that drive?
Because Newsweek is a rag. If they reported that the sky was blue, I'd go outside and check myself
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.
thier stocks did drop 7%.
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.
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.
Of course not. This article was written using vibes.
It's vibe reporting.
How do you propose a journalist reveal numbers only Disney has access to?
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.
Wow someone had a hard-on for Gina
Let me guess without opening: it is based twitter screenshots are quotes from users who are supposedly cancelled their subscription
But people are talking about it on Twitter, and what happens on Twitter is more real than reality itself!
