It’s the best of the streamers, if someone asked me to pick between it and Netflix or Prime Video, I would choose it any day. (Paramount+ runs a close second, though).
As far as I can see, none of the rebelling shareholders has enough of a stake to take control of the company, and none have stated they want to shut Disney+ down totally (noises made about pulling out of some markets where local regulations make the cost of doing business not worth the sales) and even if both slates of “rebel” director candidates were elected to the board, they still wouldn’t form a majority. (Why is the entire board up for re-nomination anyway? Usually on this side of the Atlantic it’s only a a subset of directors at any one time, unless they all resign after a takeover or suchlike)
