Disney Stock Falls After Surprise Decline in Disney+ Subscribers​

Walt Disney stock was falling Thursday morning after the entertainment company reported a surprise decline in Disney+ subscribers during the fiscal second quarter.


Disney (ticker: DIS) said that during the March-ended quarter, total Disney+ subscribers came in at 157.8 million, well below analyst estimates for 163.5 million, and down 2% from the December quarter. Disney’s non-GAAP earnings of 93 cents a share on sales of $21.8 billion did meet consensus expectations, according to a FactSet survey.

uhh...B-Drive...

...the specific people so concerned about "woke culture" which is absolutely political by default...are all over 11 years old.

Woke culture politics is gutter and gossip politics. Children's mermaid movies and candy ad mascots are distractions from real issues like access to abortion, common sense gun laws, universal healthcare, prescription drug prices, etc.

Ok, you still didn’t read it.
You said Disney was going broke because they went woke. There’s nothing in the article about Disney going broke and Disney has been woke for decades. There’s also nothing in the article about Disney’s stick being down because they’ve been woke. The article just says their streaming service lost money, which all streaming services are doing because it’s no longer 2020.

So again, do you have a cite that speaks to the claims you made? A simple yes (and the cite) or no will do.

Sorry. I didn't realize you were being a pedantic douche. Nobody said Disney is facing bankruptcy.

Just so you know if someone skips lunch and says they're "starving" it doesn't mean they're having a medical emergency and facing eminent death.

So, no, you don’t have anything at all to back up your claim. Thanks.

Disney losing over a billion dollars a year is a massive loss of income. Sorry your ignorance of common words and phrases prevents you from understanding that. Here's some help.


What does Get woke, go broke mean?

Get woke, go broke is the phrase, used to express the phenomenon, that when brands and companies give in to pressure posed by politically correct movements and social justice warriors, they get a massive loss of income.

Pedantic means "like a pedant," someone who's too concerned with literal accuracy or formality. It's a negative term that implies someone is showing off book learning or trivia, especially in a tiresome way.

So you still haven’t posted anything to back up your claim.
For the third time, do you have anything showing Disney is losing money because they recently “went woke”?

It looks like the answer is still no but you don’t like reality.

What part of losing $1.5 billion dollars don't you understand?

Disney+ drags on financial performance​

In Q4 this year their streaming business lost an eye-watering $1.5 billion. Not only is that crazy high, but it’s way more than the $630 million that it lost the same time the year before. The losses are also expected to continue for some time yet.

Funny how Democrats can get this worked up over a children's movie yet when it comes to important things like universal healthcare, military spending, access to abortion etc. you aren't demanding answers. Just like the corporate media wants you to think and behave.

Just like Republicans you're more concerned with mindless BS like M&Ms with go-go boots and gender fluid Mr Potato Head. Not real issues.

Who said anything about a movie? I’m simply asking you to back up your claim and you weren’t able to.

You’re having a hard time reading or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

What do you have to show that Disney is losing money because they recently went “woke”?

That question has been asked and answered several times for you. Reacting to the responses with, "But why?" over and like a two year old is annoying. Grow up.

The both of you are completely missing the point. All this woke shit is a distraction. Right wing conservatives set the agenda and frame the issues and Democrats like little lemmings follow right along. 45,000 Americans die every year from lack of healthcare. Do they make this a national issue? No. They waste their time defending some shit corporation that doesn't pay living wages over woke children's movies.

Just like Republicans you obsess over stupid shit like wokeness. You're different sides of the same coin. Buckle up for another Trump presidency because you guys are making the same mistakes. What do people think when they hear Democrats? Universal healthcare? Taxing the wealthy? Codify abortion into law? No. They think a bunch of nagging virtue signaling whiners about wokeness and deplorables. Not people dedicated to improving the lives of average Americans.

You’re the one who brought up wokeness and now you’re scrambling because you wrote something ridiculous.

No I didn't bring up wokeness. From the OP.



LOL - where's the "broke" part of going "woke", again?

"...fifth highest Memorial Day opening in history."

So you didn’t say what you were directly quoted saying?

You don't get it. I don't care and neither should you. All this woke bullshit is just that. Bullshit. In your world right wing conservative Republicans call the tune and you do the dance. DeSantis has already made it very clear that his top issue is "wokeness". I'm not his puppet. You shouldn't be either.
