Disney+ records it’s 2nd consecutive quarterly loss of streaming subscribers

Thanks Desantis.
This past quarter Disney+ dropped another 4 million subscribers in part thanks to a Florida turf war with Ron Desantis.

On Wednesday, CEO Bob Iger and Co. beat Wall Street estimates for Disney’s quarterly earnings and revenue due to an impressive January-March showing at the company’s theme parks. That win comes during a fiscal Q2, which concluded April 1, plagued by company-wide layoffs, a looming (and now active) writers strike and a turf war with Florida Gov. Ron Desantis

Clearly Death Desantis thinks that being vengeful and vindictive towards a business is far better for Floridas overall economy and employment numbers than promoting business in his home state.

"The economy of the state of Florida is the fourth-largest in the United States, with a $1.4 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2022. If Florida were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank as the world's 16th-largest economy according to the International Monetary Fund, ahead of Indonesia and behind Mexico. Agriculture, tourism, industry, construction, international banking, biomedical and life sciences, healthcare research, simulation training, aerospace and defense, and commercial space travel contribute to the state's economy. In 2022, as job numbers continue to surge, Florida's unemployment rate dipped to 2.7 percent in July which hit historic low."

Anymore bullschiff you want to spew?

@Slade So will you be happy when 70,000 people previously employed by Disney and who pay their taxes suddenly become unemployed and a drain on the state of Florida all because of the vindictiveness of one man?
Slade · 56-60, M
@justanothername All because of him?Nothing about their grotesque deviate product?

Words alone can't illustrate how stupid you are

Has nothing to do with a governor.

To be honest, much as I hate DeSantis, it's not his fault this time. It's because Disney's Asian Hotstar channel has lost the rights to broadcast IPL cricket in India. The vast majority of those subscribers were Asian.
It's finally peaked. There's a limit to how much nothing people will buy.

I think it has less to do with DeSantis and more to do with crappy programming.
