You obviously buck the trend (why you’re my bro, but you’re really a Baw)
But those soyboys LOVE that shite

Only if you ignore the fact that Disney's entire animated library is on that streaming service. Does it have woke programming? Sure. But it also has The Little Mermaid and a bunch of other kid-friendly shite to occupy the children while mommy and daddy go upstairs to the bedroom.
And ESPN has a ton of live sports content (minus Covid). So what?
It sounds to me like the woke content is just a lazy excuse.

Is this the thread where we blame it on being woke while ignoring Disney+ subs, an equally if not more woke platform, are up to 100+ million?
Perhaps ESPN subs are down because there has been a cord cutting trend in the works for nearly a decade?
ETA - I'm not arguing against the fact ESPN's quality has dropped nor am I arguing against the fact they're quite liberal. I simply think blaming the sub losses on that is ignoring a much larger and more impactful trend.
Target demos are relevant

Sure, and ESPN and this board have made it pretty clear the target demo is not the average MSB poster.

Disney+ comparison is asinine. Disney+ has had inflated numbers because a lot of people got a one year free subscription. Compare that when people have to start paying for it. I had read that something like 40%-50% Weren’t paying customers just customers

Ah yes I'm sure being the price of Netflix will certainly turn a lot of people off

"Covid" is the key word here.

I don’t even give a shite about ESPN
But no sports for 3 months & a declining economy, of course their subs are down lol

people aren't dropping Disney+ anytime soon. Just more proof that people don't really care about the wokeness, they're just trying to save a few bucks over cable options.

I was wondering about that, about to cancel my cable sports package and add Disney+ instead
Does that count as ESPN losing a subscriber or not?

FWIW, Disney stock is up about 9% on the day right now. Around a $10 increase per share.

What's up with politards posting pics of Hello Games devs? This is like the 6th thread I've seen a picture of them.
We beefing with England or something? I'm genuinely confused.

Parks reopened and they announced a release date for Mulan.
