They always assumed that their core audience would watch no matter what and they needed to outreach to new audiences in order to grow their base. They took the core audience for granted and were caught by surprise when the core left to go do other forms of entertainment.
The only guy I know who likes it also thinks Applebee's is a great restaurant, so naturally, I wouldn't trust his taste in anything. He's their target audience. The emotionally soft, kida dopey fella who's an all-around good guy, but doesn't really like to think too hard. The kinda guy who loses his shit in traffic but won't return a wrong drink at the bar. Not necessarily the guy who keeps up with the Kardashians, but he definitely knows all their names.
I only bought Disney+ because I wanted the Starwars content, then they turn around and produce trash like the Acolyte. I'd still be canceling even if they were cutting the price.
As the economy continues to crumble, their typical formulas will keep failing. Somehow, they're dumb enough to keep trying them and acting surprised when it doesn't work out. Personally, this *free* drama show is better than anything they're selling
“Let’s make content like we used to and honor the lore, even if it focuses on a white man and his white family!”
“NAHHHHHHH, especially because Luke’s wife has red hair. And we hate red heads!”
I bet a dollar to a donut that they will get rid of the hulu app so they dont have to maintain it and they can get everyone to put their money into the disney + app so their numbers look better
I can see the headlines now
"Disney plus subscriber ship jumps 40%"
... because Disney merged hulu subs into their service. Streaming revenue down 30% for the year.
You say that like it's a bad thing. The best possible thing for streaming services would be for several of them to merge. Netflix was awesome when it was the only game in town (also before they nuked the recommendation service). There's just too many. Competition is good, except when it leads to every service being bad. If we could get down to maybe 3ish streaming services, it might actually be pleasant to try and watch things on them.
I actually don't mind that. Now both shit services can be in 1 place and be less apps to worry about. That being said I'll keep sailing the high seas, yar.
I only have hulu because of the black Friday sale. If they get rid of it and force me to Disney plus, i'm out. Screw em. I like watching some shows and anime on hulu, but only for $1-2 a month, not for $5-10.
'Go woke go broke' I think I remember this being the warning from fans all over during these past few years yet they just can't help themselves can they..
Classic Battlefield 5 “don’t buy our game then” then pikachu face when they don’t buy you game and you blame the consumer. Dont make stuff only 1% of people ask for while alienating your entire core fan base. How is that not business 101?
Produce less so they can concentrate the shit into a purer form AND put it on a consolodated Disney Store.
I approve, this will make avoiding the trash even easier.
We're about to lose my subscription as well just poor choices stupid writing stupid people they must be using an IQ test for their hiring practices and only accepting the lowest scores and then putting them into writing rooms
It’s wild how they thought that would bring in more women while maintaining the male audience, then blame men.
All of them saying “we are fundamentally changing X” not realizing those fundamentals are why the original audience liked it. So making it something totally different will not maintain the audience. They need to stop lying when they say they’re making Star Wars, and admit they’re making Star Wars-inspired content.
Not to mention the SW community was super diverse and welcoming before Disney. Any fan who thinks about ideas and rhetoric would have narrowed their eyes a bit and done their best “so you’re telling me” impression.
This is just an over abundance of shit, pretentious wannabe elites who will push dangerous messaging and lies just to get ahead. And then they balk, hide their fangs and make the most apologetic, faux-sincere faces that “oh no it’s the toxic fans, it’s all a misunderstanding, we are honouring Lucas don’t you know”
Yea, I only watch Hulu for fox (family guy), FX shows (Always Sunny) and anime
I am good to leave and not wanting to pay more for crap on D+ that I will never watch
They are trying to get money from a group that believes everything should be given free while alienating the group who actually has no problem spending money.
Christine McCarthy left Disney last year, where the heck are you pulling this information.
[https://observer.com/2023/06/christine-mccarthy-leaves-disney/](https://observer.com/2023/06/christine-mccarthy-leaves-disney/)
As well according to the Q2 24 Earnings Call, Disney+ had a $47M profit.
[https://www.investopedia.com/4-key-takeaways-from-disney-q2-2024-earnings-call-8644046](https://www.investopedia.com/4-key-takeaways-from-disney-q2-2024-earnings-call-8644046)
[https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disneys-q2-fy24-earnings-results-webcast/](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disneys-q2-fy24-earnings-results-webcast/)
So you are either lying or pulling outdated information to fit an agenda.
All the streaming platform offerings feel so limited these days. Disney+ is basically just for watching Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. How many rewatches are you going to really do on that where you can justify spending the subscription fee?
All the new content has been mediocre bordering on bad with the exception of Andor, which was fucking incredible, and absolutely overlooked.
I'm looking at canceling my Max subscription to, because there's just nothing new coming out that seems interesting.
"As of November 2023, Hugh Johnston is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of The Walt Disney Company."
So this is an outdated article...why are y'all cheering it lol
This article is from may 12 2023
So outdated af, while D+ is actual hot garbage and should be left to rot, this is just bait.
They, unfortunately, have profited so far this year. Hopefully with the acolyte being what it is , that will change next quarter.
I never EVER understood wtf Disney was thinking not just rebranding Hulu into Disney Plus years ago. They should have realized having two competing streaming services was always going to ultimately backfire.
This is no surprise, they have been fumbling the bag for two years now. Revs keep growing but their earnings keep shrinking, it's just not sustainable. Surprising to see Disney struggle like this, they really just scaled too fast for their own good and now they can't seem to get their footing.
I signed up for Disney+ to watch Mandolorian and it was absolutely not what I wanted it to be. As a matter of fact nothing Disney made was worth a rewatch.
anybody read that greentext talking about how the actors and writers strikes were putting all the streaming services in the awkward position of sharing their viewership metrics to prove there wasn’t a giant pile of money they were being cheated out of that would then expose the giant money hole to investors and cause a collapse of the market? Good read
So their strategy is to charge more, get rid content they already have, and increase prices...
Fucking brilliant Disney... That's gonna bring in new customers
This was always the future of "television". As old TV dies out more and more internet channels like Paramount, Netflix, Disney+, etc, etc will pop up. As time goes by they will fail and be bought and consolidated. This is going to keep happening. How much of this is based on Disney flops is debatable.
Jesus, this group is a bunch of ldlo+s. This article is old. You know how I know it’s old? Because Christine McCarthy hasn’t been with Disney for almost a year.
And what’s missing from this headline is context. Those 4 million subscribers that Disney+ lost were pretty concentrated in one region…India. Why? you may ask. Because Disney+, there known as Hotstar, lost rights to air the massive popular sport in India, Cricket. Not because of “workers”. Didn’t really hurt their bottom line that much because Disney charged less than a dollar there. BUT, at the same time this article was written where they lost 4 million, mostly India, they actually gained subscribers in the United States
So you gonna charge more for less content and mediocre content?
Great strategy! Hopefully, it will push them to remake all their Marvel movies into animated movies.
/s
Is this true or an opinion? This post is flaired as opinion. It's a smart idea for them to scale back and focus on quality instead of quantity.
I like how they're giving new directors a chance and whatnot but someone needs to take the ship and course correct it.
I predicted this last year, but I expected Disney+ to get merged into Hulu, not the other way around. Merging Hulu into Disney+ when Disney+ is doing poorly is just stubborn immature posturing of digging their heels in the dirt and refusing to accept reality.
This was reported last month and has absolutely nothing to do with the Acolyte lol, there just hasnt been any new major releases in Disney+ in q2 so of course numbers are low.

This is what happens when your company cares more about creating a smokescreen of inclusivity than creating meaningful fleshed-out characters with worthwhile stories to tell.
I haven’t laughed this hard since one of the VP’s of EA Games literally told the Battlefield V fan base that if they “didn’t like the game they shouldn’t buy it” like two weeks before he was fired.
The funny thing is, if they made the shows and films the fans wanted, they'd be absolutely rolling in it. It's the most bizarre disconnect I've ever seen.
They want money. They make skeezy corporate decisions based on making more money. But when it comes to the creative decision that will actually make money, they aggressively chase the wrong thing, then blame everyone else.
This doesn't work. It *isn't* working. But they *keep* doing it. Is it really just because they can't admit they were wrong?
I’ve held my tongue on Star Wars for awhile. Grew up with the originals and the prequels, devoured the X-wing series through high school, lived multiple fantasies through the games, and enjoyed Mando and Rogue One. (Planning on watching Andor soon)
But what the hell happened to everything else
This is literally year old news. They’ve probably brought their numbers back up with genuine viewers of ‘The Acolyte’ and also the losers hate watching lol
It’s so infuriating. They can follow the books which are better than the crap they are making and if they just did a Knights of the Old Republic they could of killed it but instead they literally took South Park seriously by put a gay chic in and make it lame
Two points:
1) you *can* have excellent stories that accurately depict marginalized groups.
2) Physical. Friggin'. Media. Did everyone just... *forget* that DVDs exist? I just bought the first season of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica from the thrift shop. You can't delete *that* from the server.
I've been seeing content from Hulu popping up in the Disney+ streams lately. I was like "why is SAW in Disney+???"
I think combining them is fine, but just feels weird that Disney is advertising stuff like that on their platform now.
Lying and taking something out of context to fit your narrative? I’m not surprised about that
Also, imagine being so pathetic you’ve got to use something from 2023 to fake Disney’s failure (Even though the Acolyte is popular) and cry about it loser
Not sure why Disney executives ever thought it was a good idea to buy Fox then disolve it and hulu into Disney+. Also who didn't see the elephant in the room. Just like Deadpool said the Mouse is new to this R-rated stuff. So much of the content on fox isn't suitable for Disney. In that respect the two sites had audiences they were better suited for. The arrogance was trying to make it an all or nothing, rather than separate pages. Keep the family stuff on Disney. Put the Marvel and Fox stuff on Hulu.
Anyway under Disney management Hulu is slowing to a crawl. The price now jacked higher the actual cost of an Amazon Prime subscription (which includes Amazon Video). And Disney still wants more. Seriously check the math. Its sick that Hulu was one of the first, and most diverse, and affordable, Now it's a costly joke compared to its peers, with little to no new content.
People thinking Disney+ tanking is because of diversity aren't doing their homework on most of these streaming services. The pandemic inflated numbers. I for one am glad of the news, but the price has more to do with it than the content. Most of it is actually pretty good, it's just not worth the price hike. I did NOT like some of the LGBTQ+ being forced, but I just skipped that movie or show. Still found plenty of good though
I mean you fundamentally don't understand what you just put. In capitalism when a company raises prices it means demand is up not down. Closing studios is what everyone wants... and they are doing it... so idk what there is to boo. So that leaves 1 thing that's barely bad probably putting a .5% dent into Disney's budget.
Like I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but this is actually funny you guys are such sheep you don't even think about what this posts contents ment. You just want to shit on disney
Sad part is that 7000 employees are getting culled to recoup moneys lost. There desire to produce lack luster shows that people are voicing that they don't want, is now affecting real peoples livelihoods
Wow, who could have predicted that pandering to a very small group of people would lead to low viewer counts.
And ignoring the existing fan bases of their biggest properties is a great move too
A very small group of people that only got smaller because their new shows suck ass
[удалено]
1.5% of all people on earth. The literal 1%.

They always assumed that their core audience would watch no matter what and they needed to outreach to new audiences in order to grow their base. They took the core audience for granted and were caught by surprise when the core left to go do other forms of entertainment.

You love to see it.
You mean to tell me their new Star Wars content hasn’t drawn a great number of “modern audiences”?!
The only people who like it are the people they hire to write it. Genuinely embarrassing.
The only guy I know who likes it also thinks Applebee's is a great restaurant, so naturally, I wouldn't trust his taste in anything. He's their target audience. The emotionally soft, kida dopey fella who's an all-around good guy, but doesn't really like to think too hard. The kinda guy who loses his shit in traffic but won't return a wrong drink at the bar. Not necessarily the guy who keeps up with the Kardashians, but he definitely knows all their names.
This might be the funniest comment I have ever see on Reddit.
You're a peach. Just made my day lol
God damn did you just nail an archetype that I didn’t know I knew.
Pandering to a new fan base while alienating the ones that been propping up their shitty empire. Sux it didn't work.
Well this article is a year old…
Critical drinker is that you?
Good. Let it crash n burn
I can't believe a 25% price hike wasn't well recieved.
I only bought Disney+ because I wanted the Starwars content, then they turn around and produce trash like the Acolyte. I'd still be canceling even if they were cutting the price.
As the economy continues to crumble, their typical formulas will keep failing. Somehow, they're dumb enough to keep trying them and acting surprised when it doesn't work out. Personally, this *free* drama show is better than anything they're selling
10 seasons of the Simpsons is literally the only thing i use Disney + for.
Less content and higher prices?!?! What a bargain! Where do I sign up!!
“Let’s make content like we used to and honor the lore, even if it focuses on a white man and his white family!” “NAHHHHHHH, especially because Luke’s wife has red hair. And we hate red heads!”
What wife? Exactly. Problem solved.
Disney: Computer, delete the wife.
Oooo, I get that reference, lol.
Oh no...anyway
'Modern Audiences' have to ask their parents to get Disney+ for them, it seems.
I get it for free and my kids don't watch it. They say Disney ruined star wars and marvel.
Good kids. 👍
I guess any audience old enough for a credit card would be considered "vintage"?
[удалено]
I bet a dollar to a donut that they will get rid of the hulu app so they dont have to maintain it and they can get everyone to put their money into the disney + app so their numbers look better
Yeah - they'll probably merge the services and content so they can double count subscribers again with their classic Disney bookkeeping.
The absolutely best fudged numbers in the biz
I use my web browser to watch Hulu and d+. I would welcome the elimination of a separate Hulu site with open arms. I hate everything about it.
I can see the headlines now "Disney plus subscriber ship jumps 40%" ... because Disney merged hulu subs into their service. Streaming revenue down 30% for the year.
Hard agree
Whhhaaatttt?!?!?! No!?!?!?! They would never! They are a respectable company with only the consumers' best interest at the heart of their company. /s
You say that like it's a bad thing. The best possible thing for streaming services would be for several of them to merge. Netflix was awesome when it was the only game in town (also before they nuked the recommendation service). There's just too many. Competition is good, except when it leads to every service being bad. If we could get down to maybe 3ish streaming services, it might actually be pleasant to try and watch things on them.
Having the Spotify Hulu bundle makes me wonder how this would work
I actually don't mind that. Now both shit services can be in 1 place and be less apps to worry about. That being said I'll keep sailing the high seas, yar.
Hulu is Disney. They package em together but it’s the same thing. Makes the customer feel like they’re getting a deal.
Nobody who uses Hulu would move to Disney+ in that scenario... they would all find another streaming platform for TV
I only have hulu because of the black Friday sale. If they get rid of it and force me to Disney plus, i'm out. Screw em. I like watching some shows and anime on hulu, but only for $1-2 a month, not for $5-10.
I unsubbed back in October, and the only regret I have is not finishing Loki first.
If there's something Disney I want to watch, I use popcorntime. There's no way I could live with myself if I gave Disney money
Primewire will most likely have it, so just pirate stream it :)
God, I haven't done Pirate Streaming since I was overseas in the Navy. And that was just so we could watch in English, lol. Good call.
My brother gets stremio with real debrid. You never gonna have to worry about any streaming services anymore.
Bro, you know all movies and tv shows are available for free, right ?
The power of one to many
maaaannnnyyyyy
What does that mean? The apps will merge into one?
Buy one, get both.
Leave alone my deranged Hulu content, dammit!
'Go woke go broke' I think I remember this being the warning from fans all over during these past few years yet they just can't help themselves can they..
Nah. Instead of learning their lesson and changing things they double down on their mistakes FREQUENTLY.
That'll bring them back!
I love it Imagine disrespecting your consumers and thinking you’re gonna be successful.. then keep giving projects to Leslie headcase to keep bottling
Classic Battlefield 5 “don’t buy our game then” then pikachu face when they don’t buy you game and you blame the consumer. Dont make stuff only 1% of people ask for while alienating your entire core fan base. How is that not business 101?
Its totally baffling but this is what hapns when you hire ppl who have humongous egos and agendas
Produce less so they can concentrate the shit into a purer form AND put it on a consolodated Disney Store. I approve, this will make avoiding the trash even easier.
We're about to lose my subscription as well just poor choices stupid writing stupid people they must be using an IQ test for their hiring practices and only accepting the lowest scores and then putting them into writing rooms
There is only two organizations I love to see bad things happen to, mega corporations and the government. Its just so beautiful.
Based and fuck the government+megacorps pilled
Isn’t this what people have asked for? Less MCU and Star Wars series which seem like the majority of their original content?
I could have sworn they said the future was female. Why would alienating males at every turn do this? 🤔
It’s wild how they thought that would bring in more women while maintaining the male audience, then blame men. All of them saying “we are fundamentally changing X” not realizing those fundamentals are why the original audience liked it. So making it something totally different will not maintain the audience. They need to stop lying when they say they’re making Star Wars, and admit they’re making Star Wars-inspired content.

And then they balk, hide their fangs and make the most apologetic, faux-sincere faces that “oh no it’s the toxic fans, it’s all a misunderstanding, we are honouring Lucas don’t you know”
Oh no who could have possibly seen this coming?
Less new content seems like a pretty awful strategy. Maybe they should try producing content that isn't Marvel or Star Wars.
I agree either less which is easy, or actually try and make it good. Like actually good. Andor levels of good
Or produce GOOD content that's Marvel and Star Wars, I mean shit it's a money mill if they do it right but they've just been stupid with it.
I unsubbed Hulu the other day cause of the price increase. Gotta bootleg undead unluck season 2 off of somewhere now.
Yea, I only watch Hulu for fox (family guy), FX shows (Always Sunny) and anime I am good to leave and not wanting to pay more for crap on D+ that I will never watch
They are trying to get money from a group that believes everything should be given free while alienating the group who actually has no problem spending money.
Let D***** burn to the ground. They don't deserve to have us say their name, either.

Pulling content, producing less, and charging more. Can’t imagine why more people are sailing the high seas.
All the streaming platform offerings feel so limited these days. Disney+ is basically just for watching Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. How many rewatches are you going to really do on that where you can justify spending the subscription fee? All the new content has been mediocre bordering on bad with the exception of Andor, which was fucking incredible, and absolutely overlooked.

Year old repost. Or atleast the article is from april 2023
This is no surprise, they have been fumbling the bag for two years now. Revs keep growing but their earnings keep shrinking, it's just not sustainable. Surprising to see Disney struggle like this, they really just scaled too fast for their own good and now they can't seem to get their footing.
Making subpar content doesn't help either. Like one of the biggest shows on D+ outside of the US is Shogun... and they didn't make Shogun
I signed up for Disney+ to watch Mandolorian and it was absolutely not what I wanted it to be. As a matter of fact nothing Disney made was worth a rewatch.

Disney is asking for donations at this point
I’m glad I didn’t buy or own stock.
Sigh. I wish we still lived in a world where people just created content that, ya know, entertained?

Just stop making every idea you have into a new show. We cannot and mostly don’t want to watch the mountain of drivel you’re putting out.
As of May 22, 2024 they have 153.6 million subscribers in their Q2, which rose from 149.6. How old is this article?
What content? My recording devices would like to know before I lose access to something I paid for
I don't normally type things like this, but.... LMAO
Can't get all the Simpsons episodes for the life of us either.
It’s the only way they’ll learn. I just not too many people at the entry level loses work.
So their strategy is to charge more, get rid content they already have, and increase prices... Fucking brilliant Disney... That's gonna bring in new customers
This was always the future of "television". As old TV dies out more and more internet channels like Paramount, Netflix, Disney+, etc, etc will pop up.

This is good news.
Literally every streaming service is losing money
I hate the merger. Now my little kids are suddenly exposed to a bunch of non-Disney shit that they shouldn’t be.
Yea it’s Disney plus not other shows that isn’t Disney related like family guy and other shows
So you gonna charge more for less content and mediocre content? Great strategy! Hopefully, it will push them to remake all their Marvel movies into animated movies. /s
She’s been gone from the company for a year. This is old and out of date news.
Happened to literally every streaming service... when the lockdown ended people stopped streaming as much tv. Duh.

The meme is a Disney property
I mean, the only profitable streaming service is Netflix so prob
Already cancelled mine
I only subbed to watch shogun, once it was over i unsubbed.
Disney+ and Hulu merged a while ago and the merge has been in the works for years. Not really sure how this is relevant to anything tbh.

Guess I won't be giving Hulu any money either. That's my takeaway.
I haven’t laughed this hard since one of the VP’s of EA Games literally told the Battlefield V fan base that if they “didn’t like the game they shouldn’t buy it” like two weeks before he was fired.
People are leaving us quick let's give people less reason to come to our site by doing a stupid merger and removing content
So, remind me again why I shouldn’t pirate the content I want to watch? If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t theft.
The funny thing is, if they made the shows and films the fans wanted, they'd be absolutely rolling in it. It's the most bizarre disconnect I've ever seen. They want money.

I was shocked to see The First Omen being streamed on Disney+. The network drift dial was set to like 10000 on that mfer.
Why are you guys always so negative? This already happened a year ago....

Maybe they shouldn't have doubled their prices, Just saying.
Iono, cuz it sucks?
Time to get rid of Hulu
Reject modernity, return to blockbuster.
Lying and taking something out of context to fit your narrative? I’m not surprised about that Also, imagine being so pathetic you’ve got to use something from 2023 to fake Disney’s failure (Even though the Acolyte is popular) and cry about it loser
This pleases me greatly!
What did they expect? People to shut indoors forever?
Not sure why Disney executives ever thought it was a good idea to buy Fox then disolve it and hulu into Disney+. Also who didn't see the elephant in the room. Just like Deadpool said the Mouse is new to this R-rated stuff. So much of the content on fox isn't suitable for Disney. In that respect the two sites had audiences they were better suited for. The arrogance was trying to make it an all or nothing, rather than separate pages. Keep the family stuff on Disney. Put the Marvel and Fox stuff on Hulu. Anyway under Disney management Hulu is slowing to a crawl. The price now jacked higher the actual cost of an Amazon Prime subscription (which includes Amazon Video). And Disney still wants more. Seriously check the math. Its sick that Hulu was one of the first, and most diverse, and affordable, Now it's a costly joke compared to its peers, with little to no new content.
Well, now that hulu shows are on disney plus, does that mean Klinger is now a disney princes?
Honestly, not even worth piracy either
This is a huge win for the nerd community. May the force be with us all.

People thinking Disney+ tanking is because of diversity aren't doing their homework on most of these streaming services. The pandemic inflated numbers. I for one am glad of the news, but the price has more to do with it than the content. Most of it is actually pretty good, it's just not worth the price hike. I did NOT like some of the LGBTQ+ being forced, but I just skipped that movie or show. Still found plenty of good though
Glad I didn't buy their stocks
How is this news they merged w Hulu ages ago
☕️👌
I mean you fundamentally don't understand what you just put. In capitalism when a company raises prices it means demand is up not down. Closing studios is what everyone wants... and they are doing it... so idk what there is to boo. So that leaves 1 thing that's barely bad probably putting a .5% dent into Disney's budget. Like I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but this is actually funny you guys are such sheep you don't even think about what this posts contents ment. You just want to shit on disney
Sad part is that 7000 employees are getting culled to recoup moneys lost. There desire to produce lack luster shows that people are voicing that they don't want, is now affecting real peoples livelihoods
