No one understand the difference between demand and quantity demanded at different price points

To break your point down, it's possible that Disney calculated/estimated how many subscribers they would lose due to the price increase, and came to the conclusion that the price increase would still net them more money.

Of course we'll see if it works in their favor or not over time. Keep canceling, they may have underestimated, you never know

This is exactly how it works.

It’s not the magic of supply and demand at work. It’s a streaming service, for the most part they can stream to everyone on earth and more if they wanted.

This is corporate greed and math manipulating supply and demand to rip more money from consumers.
