Part 4/9:
Disney estimates it is losing approximately $30 million weekly—or roughly $4.7 million per day—due to channel blackouts on YouTube. In comparison, Google could be losing up to $200 million in revenue, factoring in subscriber rebates and unsubscriptions. Many viewers have already canceled or paused their subscriptions, reducing the actual cost for Google but highlighting the scale of the revenue impact.
The situation is reminiscent of the legendary "Tron Arises" losses, underscoring how significant these streaming conflicts can become. The financial stakes are high, and the longer the blackout persists, the greater the potential losses for both sides.
