    Do they mean 1.3 Million subscribers dropped Disney+ ?

    If that’s what they meant, english would actually let them say that.

      I can be pretty pedantic, but that seemed clear to me. Thinking about it, I regularly here “Disney has x subscribers” and much less frequently they “x people subscribe to Disney.” So following that convention, saying that Disney has dropped subscribers makes perfect sense.

      ( no english major here, by far)

      but I suspect my qualm is: which entity is the actor and which is the acted upon.

      Disney did not act to remove the subscribers, but rather the opposite, the subscribers acted to drop Disney.

      One might extrapolate that Disney’s previous actions directly lead to the event.

      Does that stand to reason?
