Slightly off-topic, but kind of not at the same time, as "Doctor
Who" is currently streaming on Disney+...
 Disney disclosed an estimated 157 million global monthly active
streaming users on its ad-supported plans, including 112 million
domestically (Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+). This is the first time
Disney has disclosed numbers tied to their advertising plans in
this format. In Q3, Disney said that 37% of Disney+ subscribers
in the US were on its ad-supported plan, and 60% of all new
subscribers were choosing the AVOD (Advertising-based Video on
Demand) plan.

  If there's one thing I hate... it's adverts!
 

Adverts and lies. Both amount to the same thing.
157 million people haven't been watching Disney+ every month. It's the same people counted multiple times every time they watch the same show again or watch a different show just like it is with YouTube. Lets divide this figure by 1000 to get something that resembles the number of unique viewers per show more closely. About 157 thousand individuals on average watch each show on Disney+ every month. Doctor Whoke can't even get 20,000 per episode even during the same period, 10 times less than The Acolyte as Doomcock reported.
How many actual paying subscribers do they really have, ones who are still paying every month, not just past subscribers held on their records? Probably only 15 million.
