What a coincidence (not) that the actors and actresses went out on strike just as the studios need to shut down productions that are losing money anyway.

Cancel Disney Plus, Hulu, Netflix, etc. Stop funding this stuff - with paid streaming you fund this stuff whether you watch or not - they don’t need ratings for revenue:

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children: Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.

On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

Just like the other companies showing large losses, they brought it on themselves.

Disney said on Wednesday that losses in its streaming business for the most recent quarter totaled $659 million, an improvement from a year earlier (and a vast improvement from the October-to-December period, when losses totaled $1.1 billion).

Plenty of Internet buzz that Iger's game plan, now that he's been "extended" to 2026, is to shift the corporate emphasis to streaming during the Writers' and Film Actor's Guild strikes - the idea being to stop the bleeding from their live-action remakes and ride on old content until the smoke clears, and if it doesn't, lean on AI and CGI instead of staff and production crews. Of course, Disney+ does need to actually turn a profit for that to work. "Look, we've slowed the bleeding" isn't going to impress many shareholders.

Democrats aren’t, but Americans are getting tired of all this deviant faggot BS!
Trillions spent on blacks did not work.
Trillions pent on eco-nut climate dreams won’t work
And trillions spent to convert men into women and women into men won’t work.
Get a clue!
Y’all vote for idiocy, this is what you get, broke and
enslavement.
I figured this out when LBJ got elected in 1964.
I was in the third grade.
I’ve watched the USA dig it’s grave since then.

Hope they double and then triple down on what they’re doing. The tremendous and costly business failure that will follow should be more entertaining than anything they’re selling now.

It takes a lot of money to launch at such scale. But these losses are staggering considering how much content they own, and the number of subscribers they have. I wonder what their subscriber numbers are, and if they are churning and burning people out - not just those in protest but just those who don’t want to continue their subscriptions because they don’t care for the content.

Personally I like Netflix business model best. They don’t try to string you along by releasing one episode a week trying to get you to stay a subscriber for 3 months in a row. They put it all up and let you binge. The flip side of that is, you run out of content to watch faster and maybe you drop it and don’t come back until months later.

Ultimately though, too many services competing. Disney should have a big advantage given that they own what is it, 8 studios and have 70+ years of content in their vault? Plus ESPN and other stuff. But maybe it’s all just too much money for people, or maybe they are just spending too much to produce content. No wonder the studios are at war with writers and actors right now. They thought they would be raking it in hand over fist. Now they see they have to cut budgets a heck of a lot. Probably should consolidate all their services into one stream, and shutter a bunch of offices. No need for Hulu, Disney and ESPN to be separate subscription services. Just bundle them all, consolidate all their management.

That’s nearly a billion dollars lost in a single quarter.

For months, the media has been telling me that Disney and Ukraine are winning. Shysters covering up for other shysters.

I doubt that Disney will recover their status or recoup their losses.

Evangelical Perversity aimed at little kids?

Disney is now the Jimmy Savile of entertainment.

Hulu with live TV was $82.99 through my cell company. It is now 82.99 with ESPN+ ($9.99 stand alone.) and Disney+ ($10.99 stand alone.) so billed directly to them they incentivizing $21 a month and cannibalizing existing dual revenues.

I feel bad for some of the rank and file there, primarily the omes who really need the job

But I truly hope Disney, as it is now, goes bankrupt. Woke and perverted are reasons to take down the house of mouse.
