They're not ALL because of the Kimmel fiasco. The article clarifies that the "1.7 million was 436% above a subscriber loss that’s typical for the same period."

Still, excellent proof that boycotting works, and that if we can appeal to corporate greed, we can force them to do the right thing.

So they usually churn ~320K; so ~1.4m cancellations can be attributed to the Jimmy Kimmel fiasco.
