So, they can afford those extra taxes, sweet.

The details that Disney makes more money when they get more subscribers? Or, that Disney wants strangers to teach your 4 year old boy that he can get pregnant?
Which details, Willis?

Wonder how many of those are because Verizon includes Disney in some of their unlimited plans?
I switched to Verizon last month and now have Disney. I wouldn't have subscribed if not for Verizon.

Disney is being smart to emphasize their virtual entertainment platforms.
Disney is probably in the early stages of de-emphasizing their bricks-and-mortar resort / entertainment platforms, since their tax advantages vis-a-vis their competition is going away; this will hurt their after-tax profits going forward.
(?) Anyone have insights about whether Disney is discounting the fee for new subscribers to Disney+ to sign up?
(?) Anyone have insights about whether carriers such as Verizon are charging more to Disney for carrying Disney+ as in their full service package?
There are means of juicing the revenues for 'window dressing' while not doing as much for margins.

Moving the goals posts won't save you from just verbally farting out "facts" like Disney is getting rocked and losing subscribers because it's what you want to believe.

No one is saying that Disney+ isn't getting new subscribers.
For that matter, it may be good business for Disney to offer discounts (which I don't know that they're doing ... was just asking in my post) to boost up their subscriber numbers.
It's smart of Disney to push their virtual entertainment / media-type business instead of their bricks and mortar resorts / theme parks business. Disney's margins for their bricks and mortar business are almost certain to take a big hit; at least that's what Wall Street seems to think.
I'll put more effort into posting with more clarity moving forward (that is, until I forget and do another sloppy post).

and you may have not seen them, but I present them as evidence that many people on here, particularly representing the MAGA tribe, have a propensity for just verbally farting out "facts" without having even the vaguest curiosity if they're actually true.
And the thing is, they're not even relevant. Like, why even claim Disney is losing subscribers when I think you can agree that's an incredibly unlikely situation, or at least to the degree it would be a material loss tied directly to the spat with DeSantis.

Disney+ is legit and if you have young kids, you probably have it and use it as do I.

of money. But it's easily the best streaming service out there right now in terms of content, with the one exception MAYBE being HBO (if you don't have kids).
