Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

Well, Disney is a publicly-traded company, so we know that Disney's stocks fell by 1.9% since they made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel. And we also know that 1.9% of Disney stock is worth $3.87 billion. We don't know if the Disney boycott was the reason their stocks fell...but evidently Disney does believe it, because they reversed their decision after just one week.

Yeah, my guess is that someone was doing back of the envelope math with stock prices, D+ subscriptions and maybe ad buys, to the extent that data could be sort of known this quickly. (Stock prices are the easiest to get, of course, because they're out there in the public.)

Yeah it not proof, but its an indicator among others.

If their change of direction is indeed because of the boycott, it would make this the first ever successful boycott against The Mouse.

However, they were already talking about reversals before the drop. I think it more likely that they suspended Kimmel to take a look at their legal exposure, found that there was none, and then reversed course.
