WOKE DISNEY Movie Starring First Openly Gay Teen Gets Lowest Rating In Box-Office History For Animated Film

Very good analysis in your post.

I guess if there is an upside, it's that the barriers of entry are coming way down with regard to being able to produce your content. It used to be that Disney was one of a few large conglomerates that produced content due to the very high upfront costs involved.

Now you have many different entities producing their own content, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, just to name a few of the bigger ones (and there are many smaller ones coming into maturity).

Not only that but there are now individuals creating their own content that stream on YouTube and elsewhere, building audiences of millions. Not just entertainment but original content on things like cooking, home repair, history, music, science, investement advice, you name it.

So while yes, Disney will have that dog of a movie forever to push on our kids, Disney is rapidly becoming just another drop in a rapidly expanding pool of content.

There are now so many compelling shows on YouTube that I subscribe to such as self created ones like "Holy Schmidt" (retirement advice), "Zeihan on Geopolitics", "JCS - Criminal Psychology", "Netherlands Bach Society" and "Company Man" (profiles on corporations), that I scarcely have time to check out anything that the older dinosaur companies like HBO, Disney and Paramount Pictures is putting out.

The younger generations now spend most of their time either creating content or watching the content of their peers. In other words, the audiences for what used to called traditional media are declining rapidly as us older folks age and die out.
