And they kowtowed to their DEI department and slandered their all time classics. So idiotic, they should just put the following warning on everything made before 2020:

You do realize that image you posted is from South Park, right?
Fox Entertainment bought Tubi.
Apple+'s game was initially not to rely on any studio or to go around buying content. And certainly, they have no back catalog. They thought that they could create must-see TV. That didn't work so well. They're looking to change strategy.
Forgot to mention Epix, which lost the Paramount content and was left with the deep library of MGM, but no ability to create a lot of new content. They were purchased by Amazon Prime.
Paramount can possibly survive if they can get all of Showtime and all the Viacom cable channel content on their streamer sooner than later.
This is a disaster. They need to fire Chapek just to focus the blame on an individual, instead of the company at large.
I personally know 7 families that have canceled Disney + in the last week.
I’m not sure what is going to be required to win back consumers, but I am sure that without new leadership and direction the company is in serious trouble.

They made their bed and they should lay in it. For the supposed leader in the industry, they need to learn from what other amusement park companies are doing to win back guests.

Completely off-topic, but is this recent? We're going down next week and wanted to change one day from MK to Epcot but got the message everything was booked. I checked with both our hotel reservation and our AP.
This would mean something if the parks where phase closing. It’s just an artificial attendance cap.
I also have no idea what this has to do with Disney+. That is how the street is valuing the company, not some nonsense park reservation system.
Revenge travelers can take their business elsewhere if they don't like Disney anymore.

The fact that Chapek is still being kept in the basement is very telling - any other company that is all over the news would have the CEO front and center fighting this battle.
Unlike a president who can hide, but has surrogates in the media, congress, etc to fight their battles, this is getting really embarrassing for a public CEO.
Imagine if this was happening to Tesla (like his fight with CA that lead him to move to Austin) - Musk would be owning the conversation.

Oh noes not SEVEN!
Let me help you with this. Go look at a stock chart for Disney.
That is not a chart of a company that is having “unprecedented” success.
We can disagree as to why, but I think it’s difficult to dispute the company is currently failing.
There was a study that I’m not going to take the time to find, that showed if you just take the other side of every trade he suggests you will beat the market.
It’s not that the man is stupid. He knows exactly what he is talking about. He just had no morals and is willing to lie thru his teeth.

Stock market means jack. It’s a fickle beach, and just reacts to what the latest news says. They’ll be back to where they were in no time, bookmark this.
So much wrong in only 3 sentences.

You really showed me! This sad “boycott” will be just as effective as when the orange cult “boycott” the NFL. It’s amusing they think they have any actual power over huge corporations.
