I guess the announcement comes tomorrow. I knew this would probably happen. But to do it in 2 and a half years? Wow.

It doesnt shock me. Disney has a massive library on their own. Add to that Marvel, Star Wars and Nat Geo. I have the bundle with Hulu and ESPN. it is well worth it. I have Netflix for my dad. But I cant remember the last time I watched a streaming other then Disney + Hulu and ESPN with the 30 for 30 selections.

Considering how Disney owns most of our childhoods, I'm honestly not surprised.

To be honest I am not sure. Disney doesnt have to worry about their shows or movies being pulled because they own them. Much larger and lets be honest more name recognizable titles over all.
To be honest I think Disney will keep it for a long time to come. I know a lot of people when they are cutting back and seeing which streaming service to drop it is HBO Max or Netflix. Very very even think of Cutting Disney.

Technically, I believe it’s Disney that’s passed Netflix, not Disney+. The 221 million includes sister services like Hulu, ESPN+, and Star.
Netflix has made a fair amount of mistakes in the past few years and received more bad press than any other streaming service because of these missteps. Also, unlike Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, and Crunchyroll (Sony), Netflix does not have a multibillion-dollar corporation behind it. I must confess I let my subscription lapse about five years ago when the price started inching up it was no longer worth it for me when most of the content I wanted to view regularly was on Disney Plus and Crunchyroll (both of which I could subscribe to for the same price combined as Netflix). All things considered, I'm not surprised by their decline.

Netflix is morphing into a media company.
I think they'll be fine.

Netflix’s recent strategy seems suicidal.
They’ve been steadily increasing their prices while sharply cutting new content in ways that seem premature.
That alone is enough for a lot of people to tune out.
Netflix has been steadily losing 3rd party content (to other streaming services that own that content) and the quality of their own content is hit or miss - and very expensive to produce. Their foray into video games doesn't seem like a success thus far and they're also investing (losing?) money in that space. I'm not surprised by this. I bought Netflix shares early in the pandemic and sold them a while ago.
That having been said, being the #2 streaming company in the world isn't bad.
