And i wonder what happened in 2024 that drove people away from that service. For me, what I think of, is that time they refused to take responsibility for someone that died as a result of lies and negligence at a restaurant on their property, referred to an arbitration clause buried in the terms of service in an unrelated product only agreed to as part of a long-expired product trial.
All of that would have convinced me to cancel service.
Also, interesting timing, just this morning I received an email from Disney doubling down on arbitration, while also announcing an increase in ad presence for their "ad free" service tiers. I have never been subscribed to Disney+, though, and I can be sure I never will with that trajectory. I'm glad they can remind me constantly to never agree to use their services.

As someone who subs to Disney, they really only have franchise content. If you’re not into Marvel or Star Wars then you’re basically just subbing for their backlog.
Whereas Netflix and HBO are actually putting out standalone originals. Stranger Things, Squid Game, Money Heist, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Grace and Frankie are/were all their own things without just being some movie franchise’s licensed tv spinoffs. Even HBO gives a mix of DC content with their original shows.
There really isn’t much in the way of series created for TV for Disney itself. Even after buying FOX, there’s not any real original new content to compete with Netflix.
-
Most of Disney's content is for children. They have hundreds of original kids shows.
-
-
At this point I only have disney, because in exchange I get access other people’s accounts like Max and Peacock. Once everyone goes the Netflix route and blocks sharing, all those subs are going out the window.
-
And they've run both franchises into the ground.
-
Money heist or La casa de papel was bought by Netflix and they added 2 more (unneeded in my opinion) seasons
-
-
I think you mean the Bluey and Super Kiities subscription
-
I only have D+ because it was cheaper to get HBO and Hulu in their bundle rather than separately.
-
-
I watch Futurama every night at bed. Hulu is the only app that plays when I leave the TV on but turn off the screen.

So they lost a fraction of a percent, and probably doesn't matter really. Ok
Remember that for those scrooges, the line must absolutely go up!
It is always about the trend and this trend is hurting the parasite hehe
Yes, mostly, and that context is critically important, but the "line goes up" crowd will not be happy and will probably do something to change it. Possibly something okay-to-good, but probably not.
