Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC sparked a wave of Disney+ and Hulu cancellations.
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 17 after the late-night host commented on the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His monologue suggested Trump supporters were trying to reframe the shooter’s political ties, which drew backlash from the FCC and major ABC affiliates. ABC replaced the program with reruns, sparking accusations of censorship and igniting a boycott campaign against Disney, its parent company.
Overwhelming public reaction
The suspension triggered strong responses across social media and beyond. Hashtags like #CancelDisneyPlus and #CancelHulu trended as users shared screenshots of their canceled subscriptions.

Gee, it's almost as if everything Trump touches dies.

I'm sure a lot of people are doing so, but I'm not buying the implication here that's from some resource problem Disney can't easily rectify. Large corporations with sites on the cloud (as I'm sure this is) have things configured for dynamic resource allocation, they are 'elastic' so they can acquire more memory, cpu, etc as needed, on demand. If it's not "auto" it takes one person moving a slider on a management console somewhere
