Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel

An independent reporter claims that more than 1.7 million paying subscribers canceled their plans to DIsney streaming services.

The total allegedly includes subscriptions to Disney+, Hulu and ESPN. That falloff reportedly marked a 436 percent increase over the usual churn rate for the service.

So 317.000 users would have cancelled anyway and the actual protest was 1.3 million. If my googling is right, in total there are ~207 million subscribers.

Summarizing, they lost the 0,6%. Much more that what I expected, but hardly noticeable. I’d love to know how many already subscribed back.

A previously-posted Gizmodo article said

Kabas reports that 1.7 million was 436% above a subscriber loss that’s typical for the same period

Which I thought was very useful.

Kabas is the reporter and I still haven’t seen where they got that number.
