Can't wait until Disney own 100% of media and only produces either AI generated or disgustingly corporate bullshit
- The funny thing is I think Disney is on the brink of selling half of itself away to random entities
  
  I haven't heard that. Is there a source for this rumor?
- When Walt wished upon a star... all his dreams are coming true.
Oh boy more consolidation! Surely this won't have any adverse effects on consumer choice!
- somehow with alternatives to not make a monopoly though, hence why honestly I see piracy as the only ethical way to go (the socialism of streaming services lol)
  
  Yeah, it's a fine line. I think we can all agree there are too many streaming services/subscriptions right now.
  
  It's probably going to take 5-10 years more, but eventually companies will realize that exclusives aren't worth it for 90% of content and we see streaming look more like the video game console market, with most the content available everywhere and a handful of exclusives per platform.
