Disney PANICS as 4,000,000 Customers FLEE Trash TV 

Disney+ loses well over 4 MILLION subscribers in 1 quarter, after losing 2.4 million subscribers the quarter before! You'd assume this would teach the CEO that the quality isn't up to par and we have to immediately start hiring better people, nope. Instead it's a marketing problem, so if we lower how much we create we can spend more on marketing, fixing everything! This is a complete U-Turn from Chapeks constant churn plan, but CEO Bob Iger also wants to increase the subscription cost of Disney+ while removing content from it ONTOP of lowering the content output speed. I don't see how this wont compound further subscription losses myself, but Disney are panicking in full cost cutting mode as they are losing 4 million dollars a day. It seems like no logical thought has gone into this, or they just do not understand the problems they face despite being told it in detail, for years. She-hulk, Willow, Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi were all panned by fans. But despite this, it looks like nothing is about to change. What do you think about the losses? Are you surprised, do you think their plans will help? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Disney losing millions restores my faith in humanity.

Disney tells its customers to "move along," then wonders where they went when it's time to review the bottom line.

There’s no reason for Disney to panic, their tiny fraction of people they’re trying to appeal to will undoubtedly save them from financial collapse.

It’s so very nice to see Disney imploding. I feel like we’ve been force-fed a certain brand of politics instead of the entertainment we were paying for.

The remaining subscribers are the people that forgot they have a Disney+ subscription.

When Disney bought Marvel and Lucasfilm a little over a decade ago, that was the beginning of the end of quality entertainment from all three companies

"This magic belongs to no boy." I couldn't have said it better, Wendy. It's the new Disney motto.

It's such a shame that Disney, the company that we trusted, is now a criminal institution.

I like it when the silent majority silently stops consuming these companies' products.

Disney was once known as a premium gourmet brand, but disney+ forced them to be a fast food chain. Disney+ forces Disney to mass produce low quality garbage and it won't get better anytime. Bob iger seems to be hell bent to become netflix that is also not famous for high quality products. Disney should simply give up its streaming service and produce quality products.

I was a true blue Disney lover up until recently. I saw it happening in the parks, first. The focus went from making sure the guest had an absolutely amazing experience, to making absolutely sure that the guest spent every possible cent in their pockets, before they left the property. They have erased the magic with their greed and replaced it with a typical corporate approach to satisfying shareholders and the bottom line. I stopped buying my annual pass to Disneyland when they priced everyone out but the rich European and Asian tourists. After all the money I had spent there, and all of the people I had convinced to do the same for well over thirty five years, I was apparently labeled an “undesirable” by Disney. I see the same thing happening with Disney+. Struggling to satisfy that wicked shareholder bottom line is requiring Disney to give the least, while charging the most. Well, I cancelled my Disney+ subscription two months ago and sadly, I doubt I’ll ever see Disneyland again. Walt would be beside himself.

I believe Disney knows exactly what they are doing. They just don’t care. They must be getting benefits from DEI scores above and beyond their financial losses. It’s disgusting.

>Disney doubling down with their politics and agendas over telling good stories >Disney actors/show-runners actively labeling people on Twitter that don't like their show with "-ists" and "-phobes" >Disney actors/show-runners telling people to not watch their show coz "It isn't for you" Disney: "Why are we losing so many subscribers?????"

What’s crazier is they said they will be removing $1.5 billion worth of content while increasing the price lol

Disney's lack of respect for other people's literature and their tendency to do what they want may be the reason for their downfall. It is not surprising to see them fail due to this behavior

You hit the nail in the head, Disney seems to have an issue with masculinity just look at the book of boba fett, Obi Wan, Peter Pan and soon to be Madalorian. People are starting to realize this and are speaking with their wallets. If the writers have “daddy issues” then leave that at home, get therapy or choose a different career but don’t expect society to tip toe around you

I’ve been to those kinds of meetings. Let me tell you, they are in their own Hollywood bubble. They are not thinking of the consumer at all. They’ll blame the plebes before themselves.

As a father, one thing I've consistently noticed with Disney is that they clearly are capable of making good, quality shows... but they barely last long enough to gain any traction or following. Some recent examples would be Saturdays, Gabby Duran, Ultraviolet and Black Scorpion, and The Mysterious Benedict Society. They're genuinely good, like something straight out of the 90s. But then they get canceled after only a season or 2. But trash like Bunk'd just keeps going on indefinitely, just like Jessie will probably never go off the air. Disney loves canceling every decent production before it even hits its stride, but they love forcing anything with identity politics or just complete garbage "humour" down our throats.

When entertainment companies go from telling good stories to spreading their politics, morals and wokeness our brains get tired of them. We just want to flee reality for a while.

Disney: "This wasn't made for you." Every sane person: "I agree"

Disney's strategy in a nutshell: Become better at deceiving our customers!

Charging more while offering less? That's been pretty on-brand for Disney for quite some time now. How are people surprised?

They don't care about the fans, they care about their ESG scores for BlackRock. I hope it was worth all the backlash Disney. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company.

It's hilarious that they are learning how to market their movies and shows better, by putting more content that people want to see and less that they don't. But then they apparently don't even think about that the same idea applies to the actual shows and movies. Someone over there just needs to sit down and think "is this something our customers want to watch?" In all the interviews of the executives, writers, and actors I don't think I've seen any of them say anything that was even close to being concerned about what their customers want to watch.

Disney: produces a crap ton of soulless garbage whilst providing no reason to stay and watch more *Everybody leaves* Disney: "why aren't they staying?"

Disney plus is not a streaming service, it's a babysitting app for terrible parents

Wonder if shareholders will hold the executives accountable for all these "go woke, go broke" tactics. Wonder how laid off employees feel about content being inclusive (except for them) 🤦

My kids are so fed up with the crap Disney is putting out recently they won't even watch the good stuff on there anymore.

I find it extremely difficult to grasp that regardless of all the horrendous decisions Disney makes, they STILL have a Disney+ subscription base of 158 MILLION people. That's almost half the population of the USA. is it really any wonder why they believe that they can do whatever they want and get away with it ? Until that number is at least halved, they will continue on their merry way and laugh at us. Very frustrating.

They're increasing the price to offset losses from subscribers leaving. Customers are realizing the new content is crap and it's not worth a monthly fee in perpetuity just to rewatch Disney classics.

Disney has hurt the fandom so much with star wars alone,that once i leave thats the decision made,if they can choose to destroy a franchise anytime they want, what's to stop them from doing it again and again?

I'm glad you hit the topic of "writers" . as few days ago I passed them on susnet Blvd. They're asking pepl to honk in agreement with them on protests. I didn't. I've seen too many cliche copy and paste programs. Creativity has been long dead. And they were most all young and woke crowd... Wasnt surprised to see. Them thinking they deserve more $$$??? What a joke.

Igor understands full well what the problems are, but he refuses to acknowledge it because it would upset all his underlings and when a company is dying, that's not the best idea. But of course continuing on the same path isn't going to do any better

I truely feel bad for the lower tier Disney employees who lost their jobs because of the creatives and the executives at the company

Outstanding!!! You’ve identified the whole can of worms and named it!! Thank you 🎉

I run a buy back service in Ohio. It blows my mind to just default run a mindset of “my clients don’t matter” at any level and be entitled to their business. You service THEM. If they’re cool and happy we have a deal. If not neither side is obligated to accept.

I predict in 3 years Disparu will have more subscribers than Disney+.

I guess when the price hike happens, I’ll cancel my Hulu/ESPN/Disney bundle.

Holy shit that scene in the Mado had me close the app and rest with heartburn 🤣

I see Disney are taking GWs approach, don't fix the problem, charge people more.

It's hilarious how my neighbor defends literally all of those flops saying they really enjoyed them.... I can only cringe at their ideals

That was BRILLIANT commentary! WELL DONE! It's clear to me, Disney and all the Hollywood Types are simply DIFFERENT from the rest of us.

When they said "don't watch it, it's not for you", I said "deal".

So fun story, back in the 80s Disney saw all the trash cartoons that were being produced and said, "What if we sink a little bit of money into making the animation actually not suck?" And they released the Gummi Bears followed shortly by DuckTales, TailSpin, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, and so on. It was a massive success and people bought their cable channel, cause that how cable used to work you'd buy the channel you wanted. They took this model to the silver screen and we had a renaissance of great movies. Disney has forgotten the lessons they had already learned and turned to shoveling out cheap crappy remakes that aren't even veiled soapboxes for the hack writers to shrill their messaging at you. No one wants this and the good will they had built up is being burned through at an eye watering rate. I look forward to seeing how even more people drop the service when they raise the price of it even higher.

Willow's confession of mediocrity feels like the writers projecting onto the page

All that you’re saying is very spot on, you are very good at describing these problems that Disney is creating for themselves.

When the Disney Channel first come out on the C-Band dishes, it was a premium channel, their were no commercials in the movies or the series that they played. They changed to putting commercials in their programming but didn't drop the price of the channel. We canceled it ASAP after I contacted them about the price, and basically they laughed about people complaining about the price.

Looks like Disney and Bud Light are neck and neck for the "Go Woke, Go Broke" 2023 challenge.

Iger blaming their Disney+ failure on marketing is like the central bank blaming companies for inflation. Making bad shows or printing money is the core problem, not the people who have to deal with it.

Love your rant about Disney's marketing! Lots of good expensive marketing of shoddy product will destroy a flawed business faster. The more they market this terrible content, the faster the losses accumulate

What’s interesting is that I signed up for a new Internet plan last month I received (unsolicited) a “free” 3 month subscription to Disney+. I’ll bet a dollar Disney+ will be claiming me as a new customer, when in fact I didn’t want the account and haven’t even bothered to activate the offer…

Disney learned a lesson, they need to lie better about what is in the film/TV show so you’ll watch it, and once they got your money you can screw off and watch garbage, because once they have your cash they got everything they needed out of you and as far as they’re concerned they have no reason to care about your enjoyment or experience. Maybe the next lesson they learn will be how to file chapter 11 bankruptcy, how to claim unemployment benefit paperwork and how to write a CV.

5:18 they still think that people want woke historical or SF shows showing "the world we're living in today" ? and they are still surprised they are losing money? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I used to have Disney plus, and I also had Netflix. But I decided to cancel my Disney plus because I was much happier with my Netflix.

I had Hulu and didn’t realize it included Disney+. I’ve never been so excited about canceling a streaming service in my life. Ciao Disney

Disney thinks that their products are failing because people are not giving it a chance. They will soon learn what happens with bad products that get effective marketing.

"This magic belongs to no boy" is as clumsy as it is stupid, As an irritated Darth Vader might say. I wonder how he feels about the force being female? Hopefully they will cover that subject matter in "the acolyte." Probably millions of new subscribers will sign up for Disney+ to watch that. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend!

They forgot they’re an entertainment organization

I do enjoy watching you, you always put a smile on my face which often looking on here and the news I don't have.

I was honestly surprised that in the recent Lion King remake they didn't have Sarabi divorce Mufasa, kick him out of Pride Rock but still make him bring 4 dead Zebras a day to feed the new all female boss bitch pride, then have the prince Simba twerk for his dinner while they all laughed about how worthless men are, then cowed him into accepting Nala as his overlord Queen who would then reign for eternity in holy peace and harmony. What an empowering plot. I came up with that 3 cans deep on a Friday night in 50 seconds, but you can believe it happening one day... Can't you. Fuck I need to email Disney, may as well get some money out of this shit.

This money belongs to no Disney

We've been telling them what we want to buy for a decade or longer. They just don't want to do it.

Anybody else remember when Subbing to Cable special access meant, no commercials, uncensored, premium content, and after theater releases? Oh and it was essential because analog was still an option?

Really glad I ran across your channel. You're hilarious man. Wish you and your channel the best!

1:22 He changed shirts for that. More committed than the people who write these TV Shows I swear

I’m. Old enough to remember the throw away low budget crap Disney produced in the 70’s. Anyone remember stuff like “The Cat From Outer Space” the “Computer in Tennis Shoes” or “Herbie Goes Bananas” awful. Truly awful films. It’s actually their default setting because quite frankly they’re a creatively bankrupt committee driven company and have been Since Walt was declared legally dead enough to have his body frozen in carbonite. If it wasn’t for the Lion King and Brad Bird their abandoned theme parks would nowadays only be visited by urban explorers…

I will just wait until they give up with their own streaming olatform and retuen to renting all their shows to other platforms. Looking at this numbers, it should not take long.

The big issue is that they look at charts and they talk to marketers and they listen to the Twitter mob but they never stop for a moment to engage with the actual customers. Fking wild that these big corporations will appeal to everyone except the people that might actually give them the money they so desperately crave.

There is no way in hell that Disney doesn’t know why they are losing money… they know… but the narrative of today is what is driving them.

This video reminded me my Disney + subscription was still running and I don't think I'll be checking anything new out till the Ahsoka show in August, so I'll take those 2-3 months back thanks.

Some very solid social commentary here Disparu. :-) Good job!

Disney didn't see this coming from all the franchises they've ruined and pissed on their own fans

The worst part of she-hulk is that Tatiana Maslany had tremendous range on Orphan Black, and was really good in that, so she must choose to be deliberately awful on she-hulk...

All the marketing in the world isn't going to save your movie/tv show/video game from financial ruin when the creators of said entertainments keep telling their long-standing fanbases that the product 'isn't made for you".

I'm really glad to hear this. I only signed up to watch Daredevil and I am very scared of what they will do to Daredevil Born Again

Watching disney self destruct is becoming the best Entertainment, grab some popcorn folks:)

The She Hulk T shirt is epic Irony, man. Good one, Dear sir.

Yep there's been a massive drop in quality all over. Sadly, Disney and WB have bought so much competitors and have a vast catalog they can lock it away while remaking crap left and right.

I think the removal of content has something to do with the writers strike. One of the things they’re asking for is residual pay from streaming. If people can’t stream it, they don’t have to pay the writers

I love how pathetic it is that they think the ultimate dream of a woman is to become a successful writer, and spend your life alone until your death. What a dark awful existence. You enjoy that “life of happiness”. I think I’d choose my family and us just being happy and being able to live within our means but are happy, than this bitter sad view that they will be weak for wanting a normal life where both people work but the man works harder knowing that she will need to raise their children at some point. And having a job that makes that impossible aren’t exactly fulfilling.

I just want them to fail faster to get it over with. If they fail quickly enough, we might escape this hell with at least a few parts of our childhood still intact.

The time has come for silent majority to bring down these evil corporations.

I took business courses for my elective and the biggest thing that they emphasize is that you have to plan on how much money you think you might make, not on reality. I questioned this type of practice to my professor about this being a stupid plan but everyone just looked at me like I was an idiot.

Damn, I already canceled my free subscription to Disney+. Looks like I now have to cancel Hulu as well.

Youve literally described psychopathy. The inability to empathize, and see other ppl as also sentient beings, who have their own internal mind. Seriously thinking all others are npcs.

Subscribed. Long time viewer but this one earned it.

Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, the list is endless. People are choosing what's more important. Pay for subscriptions you don't need or keep paying.

I read She Hulk back in the early 90s. It was a good spoof of comic tropes and good stories. They could have followed those comic books and had a hell of a TV show. But no, they WOKE their brains out.

People will pay for quality which Disney is lacking these days! My annual subscription was due to renew in March but I cancelled it. Not paying £80/year for trash ☹️

The word and brand CREEPS ME OUT. Nothing can possibly change that. When people wear anything Disney im horrified and I'm not silent about it.

You are so good at this. Subscribed 😊

My friends thought I was stupid because I told them that The Mandalorian is only good right now, it’s going to get bad & it’s going to be very suddenly. So it was written and so did it pass. I don’t think they can fire these Activist writers because they are terrified of their violent reactions because the bullied realized that bullying works in the way that it makes your victims obey you. I mean they gave Rings of power a season 2 because the writers/activists were bullying everybody. Activists destroyed everything.

Disney is also the only of the major Hollywood studios that charges full or near full price for almost all of their movies on Blu-ray. The massive catalogues of Warner, Universal, Sony and Paramount can usually be found at under ten euros per film. I can understand higher prices from smaller studios like Lionsgate, but certainly not from Disney. 16 euros for the original "Bambi" (1942)? Sorry, not on my watch.

PS You do a very good job presenting your videos, and the editing is great. I am a sub and thank you for it.

I asked the kids if they were ok after we cut all Disney trips and shows out of our lives 3 weeks ago. They told us they don't care because we spend so much more time going out to the Parks having BBQS and playing with there rc rock crawlers. You have no idea how happy they made me feel by saying that.

Disney needs a high esg credit score and attached money to it to survive more so than paying nornies.

Yes, share price gapped down by 9%, which is a fairly strong signal. But the BIG tell was volume: 57m shares traded, the biggest sell-off since Nov 9 and 21, while Chapek was still in charge. This is the Iger Sell. It's qualitatively different.

I tell you why because it used to be few big subscription services in the past offering content produced by various media companies, so we had a big spread of content type on each platform. Now, every one comes up with their own platform with tiny amount of good stuff and filler trash, and expect to be paid as for full blown service.

6:11 Today I Learned Peter Pan & Wendy cost $5 million more than Dune Part 1...
