Disney+ removing films and tv shows

Does films and tv shows have to removed from Disney+ to cut costs? And have there been complaints about it? If there have been, what was their response? 86.130.9.101 (talk) 19:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you try asking them yourself? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They don't exactly have an email address for queries from random people. And even if they did, they wouldn't give an answer to a question like this. --Viennese Waltz 08:18, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disney+ does live chat <http:/help.disneyplus.com/en-GB/contact-us/getting-started?target=|chat>. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 2A04:4A43:861F:F549:8934:3F66:3E44:4966 (talk) 13:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not free to store programming for streaming. It costs money. If a program is not profitable, don't host it. Disney+ isn't the only company that continually curates the available library of programming. Iger states in the Q2 earnings report that due to a large loss in subscribers, they would be removing programming to save money. What I found interesting is that they pay a contractual penalty for not hosting some programs. The report states that the penalties for non-hosting will be less than the savings for removing programming. 68.187.174.155 (talk) 13:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coincidentally or otherwise, it also fits with their long-standing practice of periodically re-releasing their older films, and then pulling them back after some stretch of time. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So they do have to remove them just to cut the costs? And what about the complaints and their responses? 86.130.9.101 (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you file a complaint yourself, whatever response you get (if any) would likely represent their typical response. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:10, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck! ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to file a complaint yourself - see the IPv6's comment above. 2.101.241.55 (talk) 14:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That post is by a banned user, so there's a good chance you are that same banned user. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
