This says 128M, which seems far more plausible. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney-stop-reporting-subscriber-numbers-disney-plus-hulu-espn-1236480413/
Yes, but I looked up Disney+, Hulu and ESPN combined.
I don't think those numbers are additive like that - you'd be double-counting people.
They pay more than once as well?
True - I guess it depends on whether we're defining "subscribers" as people or total paid accounts.
Total paid account is the number that gets counted. That's what a subscriber is after all.
Should cable subscribers be counted 200 times, once for each channel?
Corporate says the biggest number.
