      I think they barely cared, and still don’t care. It barely constitutes a footnote.

      “A larger amount of subscribers will ‘churn’ this month and we have reason to believe most will be back to watch the next season of Andor.”

          The ending of Andor was so good that I haven’t been able to watch another show. It followed through and paid off on every single thread with brilliant performances from everyone involved. It will be a generation before we get something so we’ll made again.

      Outcome predictions probably came from a room filled with bean counters at the behest of a soulless wraith in a suit saying that profits would be maximized because 51% of subscribers would continue buying Disney+. But now they’re realizing that the blatant 1A violation profits were slightly below the 50% margin so they’re all shitting their pants trying to fix the fuckup that came about because people aren’t robots and MAGA cultists are less of their demographic than they’d anticipated.

          A company that size makes predictions in terms of years and decades

          But shareholders always want money NOW.

          The company at large might, but I wouldn’t underestimate the stupidity of smaller divisions having problems if a single decision saw immediate financial backlash. I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also think companies often do stupid shit.

      Yep. They knew exactly what was going to happen and calculated that this is the best option.
