#2Wonder what the knock-on effects of potentially having no new "traditional entertainment" for a while, especially during an election year, are going to be.

#3I understand. I had various streaming subscriptions and now none for the same reason: if you get all the TV, candy, liquor, sleep, or gum you can handle, you don’t want it anymore. TV is a place to flip down and turn off your mind, except when you’re young and so sensitive to how you’re perceived that you actually empathize with the actors.

#4One counter point to why I personally pay for Disney+ is that I have kids, and kids love repeat content. I don't think new content particularly matters to them, at least not at their age.
I wonder how much Disney+'s numbers will be helped by that tranche of subscribers.

Some people remain sensitive into adulthood. Very much so.
I know 40-somethings like this who are huge film buffs. I wish I could short-term experience the world like them.
(Long term, it is horrible)

#7I don’t really care about “new” content.
Similar to video games.
I consume if it is new or old. If I can’t find content then I’m done with the service.
Unfortunately on all these platforms discovery is horrible unless they want you to find it.

#8We have Disney+ but don’t watch it super often. Our price is increasing from $85/yr to $140. I’ll probably cancel here in a few days and maybe in the future just subscribe for a month and binge some shows after they’re out.
The almost doubling of the price is absurd.

140 a year? You know you can pay for a good VPN for a lot less than that...
