Meh... Disney is simply waiting for the outrage du jour to pass.

People have a short attention span these days, and they'll latch onto something else to be worked up over next week. And they'll renew that Disney subscription to watch their favorite TV series again.

I have to actively sign up for Disney+ again, and it's way more expensive. That's not going to happen. Disney isn't making any new shows that I can't torrent if I desperately need to see it.
