Not sure where the positive news is, unless you're a Disney shareholder. They dropped subscribers and are now losing less money. They care about the money, not really the subscribers. This pattern will likely continue.

Their greed backfired and they lost money as a result. Music to my ears. Arrr.

Unfortunately, no. They were already losing lots of money. They are now losing less money than they were before even after people left. Which is generally what happens if you're losing money for every subscriber and then subscribers leave.

Might lose even less money if we started paying them to watch! Yay, math!
