Disney isn't just cartoons. They also bought (together with copyright and IP rights) 20th Century Fox, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Pixar and many others.
They pretty much own most of what younger americans now consider as culture.
And with their capital, they can easily just buy more without you having a say in it.
- adamc 4y agoYou're missing the point. Sure, they have monopoly content (so does Netflix, etc.). But they don't have a monopoly on entertainment, and most (or many) people can easily be satisfied by competing content or even forms on entertainment.
- nyokodo 4y ago> 20th Century Fox, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Pixar and many others. They’re a big player for sure and I’m not dismissing the risk from their bulbous size just that no matter how big they get there’s going to be an alternative so there should persist a pressure to compete on UX quality to some degree. The monopoly power I’m far more worried about is how terrible the content becomes when they buy and fully digest an IP.
