Once again, someone points out Disney's failed marketing strategy and starts lots of coping and smugposting 
Same arguments, but on a different sub 
Naturally, the reason why Disneyland is bleeding tourists is because everyone is terrified that DeathSantis will personally come to kick them in the balls

One of the resident boxoffice Disney shills came to defend his masters and started another argument here.

Facebook is absurdly good at turning a profit from just info on you like a/s/l and local stuff, they make like 30-40x the income per user on ads because they're just that much better at learning their users. And insta is just zoombook anyways.
Twitter has been cutting every cost and trying to increase revenue streams and still seems to not be even breaking even again.

I loved how the author blamed the lack of interest on "Peak TV" instead of the obvious "it sucks." Also, didn't the writer union basically impose higher costs on tv shows and movies? That's weird that so many shows would get cut because of that.

Fanfic makes foids and neofoids think they can write. Low pay for all but the top people on a show means you can only afford to be a writer if you have no family, are being supported by rich parents you hate, and/or are so ideologically driven you don't mind. ESG encourages diversity hires which means they can replace the second option with 'supported by a corporation' and get the trifecta.

Original CSI, Law and Order, Frasier, Saved By the Bell and Gossip Girl are just the first few that a quick search showed with aggressively increased diversity. While the Quantum Leap, upcoming Queer as Folk and X- Files reboots got themselves kangz, with queenz versions of things like Steel Magnolias, The First Wives Club and even at least a one-off of The Golden Girls.

The Disney+ budgets are fricking insane because no one is trying to save any money because "Disney = Big Money" so they just overspend frivolously.
Like the charm of Original Star Wars and Mandalorian was the fact a lot of the props and shit were re-used, trash that they cobbled together on a shoestring budget, or in small contained areas that don't need an obscene amount of CGI.

The dumbest shit Disney ever did was start their own platform instead of being satisfied making absolute bank licensing their shit out to existing streaming platforms.

Youre probably right that Disney could have done just with their old stuff, but the general theory is that a huge amount of content is what brings in money on streaming platforms, not the quality. Its kinda like a chink buffet.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I'd argue that theory is wrong. Outside of 2 scrolls through recommended page and current hyped show/movie, I doubt normies care about consooming gazillion of ""content"". With how bad the search on streaming is (Netflix anyway, I don't pay for any), you can't even properly find shows or movies of a specific genre or theme you want, and it tends to push classics on you which you're more likely to watch over "show I've never heard of" anyway.
Jump in the discussion.

To some extent yes, there are big movers that sell streaming services but people can also just buy disney movies once and never have to pay for D+. Netflix definitely shouldn't be blowing this money but Disney almost has to.
Their mistake is just making terrible shows for 2x the cost of game of thrones

Chapek really was the issue and Iger isn't a great CEO by any means but he didn't rock the boat. Now they're fricked. Which is crazy given they're too big to fail status in media
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Chapek mainly continued Iger's plan and was a CEO for too little time to count for me. And Iger was still on the board during this time. The man was definitely a disaster, but even without him Disney would have been only marginally less fricked.
Focus on diversity and quantity over quality were definitely Iger's ideas. But Chapek really dropped the ball when he picked a fight with DeSantis for no reason and turned all the chuds against Disney.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Iger ruled over Disney from 2005-2020 which was a pretty great period for them. He was Marvel, Star Wars, etc and tripled their stock price. Chapek was Disney+ (though Iger didn't necessarily disagree), bad operations, and politics.
Iger would have kept Disney ahead much longer by virtue of moving slower into streaming. It wasn't wokeness that killed them so much as poor planning and execution did (too frequent releases, bad media, and terrible streaming performance).
There's a point to be made that Iger left a timed bomb when he exited but Chapek doused it in gasoline.
Jump in the discussion.

I think Iger got too cocky towards the end of his tenure but yeah, Chapek definitely fricked everything up for good. Disney would have probably been fine after all if covid and the streaming bubble burst didn't happen basically at the same time.
