Hmmm. You know it's odd. In my head I thought "you know, if 1 million people cancel their Disney + / Hulu / HBO accounts, that's an immediate $10-25m/month of lost revenue. Annually that's a $120m/$300m a year loss if they never resubscribe."

So I unsubscribed immediately.

If the number is 10m, that's billions lost because of one subsidiary they own stifling free speech.

If I was a large shareholder, I would be able to predict this loss as soon as it happened. And dump/buy puts on Disney.

If Disney IS in crisis mode, then a boycott has happened.

A mass uncoordinated boycott is far more powerful to public companies than anything. I am excited to see what happens now.

Not to mention guilds are considering striking over it, and I don't blame them this is a threat to their livelihood too. Losing customers and on top of that not having people working? They only just got over the last strike
