I may go back sometime in the future, but I am in no hurry whatsoever.

I'll bet that Disney will email an offer with a reduced subscription rate.

I am "promiscuous" with the streaming services.

I do a month of Netflix, then a month of Apple, then a month of Disney, etc.

I can binge-watch the shows instead of waiting between episodes.

Often, they send offers when I quit.

Stopped in 92 when my time was tight and reading the paper or a book slowed my free time down a bit instead of packaged segments. Have not missed the drama one bit.

If they offer up a sweetheart deal as an apology, I'd be willing to consider it.

As I already knew it was just a bad knee jerk reaction and they would change their mind. Disney always sets aggressive revenue goals, if it doesn't come in, heads start rolling.

With that said, I think someone is getting fired. They gave bad advice and are about to pay for it. Disney isn't CBS, they have their fingers in a lot of pies and all of them could suffer from one bad decision.

I religiously binge watched the veterinary shows on NAT GEO Wild. Most of them are gone, and uncertain they will remain on Disney+.

Had joined Disney+ during the pandemic shutdown. It served its purpose. But I remain open depending what the offerings are in the event we’re stuck at home again.
