Disney+ and Hulu Subscription Cancellations Doubled After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

In the aftermath of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from his late-night talk show, Disney+ and Hulu have reported a significant increase in subscription cancellations. This surge in cancellations is attributed to the backlash from social media users who had called for a boycott of Disney-owned streaming platforms. The suspension of Kimmel, who hosts the popular "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" program, was in response to a controversial segment that had sparked widespread criticism. The decision by Disney, the parent company of both Disney+ and Hulu, to suspend the host has led to a strong reaction from viewers, with many expressing their disapproval through subscription cancellations. According to reports, the number of Disney+ and Hulu subscription cancellations has more than doubled since the suspension, reflecting the public's discontent with the company's handling of the situation. The incident highlights the power of social media in influencing consumer behavior and the potential impact of public backlash on major media and entertainment companies.
