As someone who worked on early Disney streaming efforts and watched the recent Disney restructuring that saw massive layoffs, I find this article disingenuous and blatantly anti-tech. The fact is, content consumption is more pro consumer than ever, and I think anyone who argues otherwise is looking at the past with rose-colored glasses. Content delivery has changed and the business models have followed, but this business is all full of the same people. Disney was full of ex-Warner people and vice versa. Many of my ex-Disney colleagues are now at Netflix. The only thing that’s really different right now is the pandemic. Many of the people who’d normally jump from Warner to another company are having trouble getting new jobs right now because Hollywood production is still not at 100%, which means no one is hiring. Doesn’t matter if a Hollywood exec can do their job on zoom. Production can’t. Tech hasn’t solved that yet. So I’m disappointed that the only thing this article has to say is “look at yet another example of how tech ruined everyone’s fun.” Between this and the Blockbuster Airbnb you’d think everyone is longing to go back to the 90s.
