Walt Disney Company (DIS) shares are down 0.31% in pre-market trading as of 7:23 AM on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, following CEO Bob Iger's accidental disclosure of Disney+ ad-supported subscriber details. The revelation has sparked debate among Reddit users about Disney's streaming strategy and the future of the platform. One user commented, "Even more interesting that he says the end goal is to move users to the ad-tier. Streaming has two things going for it in my eyes and they're moving towards eliminating one of those things." Another user expressed concern about the shift towards ad-supported content, stating, "They may not understand that I'm paying money in exchange for having no ads. Expose me to ads and I'll stop paying for the service." However, some users defended the strategy, with one noting, "No, they understand. They just realize that you are in the minority. Most users do not have that kind of grudge against ads."
