- pavlov 3y agoYou do understand that riling up right-wing nutjobs is a deliberate marketing strategy? Imagine you're a production company working on a low-budget docudrama for Netflix where you know it will be displayed as just one more UI tile among an endless tsunami of similar low-budget dramas from around the world. Which marketing approach do you think would work better: 1) Make a historically accurate show with the little money you have, release it, and watch it sink to oblivion with a slightly below average rating; 2) Add a provocative bait that you know the most bored unemployed crowd on Twitter won't be able to resist; watch everybody talk about your show; enjoy your 11% rating because it came with massive online notoriety and a fat Netflix royalty wire for a few months.
- slaw 3y agoThere are not enough right-wing nutjobs. It is strategy of insulting thinking humans.
- pavlov 3y agoThere obviously are enough of them because we've heard of this Cleopatra docudrama when normally this kind of production would have vanished without a trace.
- throwaway2990 3y agoThere are just as many nut jobs on the left as there are on the right.
- pavlov 3y agoOf course. Provoking liberals for visibility is a time-honored strategy in right-wing media.
- slaw 3y agoYes, Netflix is doing financially very good, considering the most of it's movies are shitty.
- keyle 3y agook I'll bite, because I must be missing the bus in the last 10 years. Please do tell what propagandas, as in topics, or ideas, Netflix and Disney are pushing and so was Vice? Thanks.

- hutzlibu 3y agoHehe, are you sure, you want to be filled in on the latest dystopian woke terrorism? It is the usual. They propagate homosexuality, gender identity, feminism. All the bad stuff. Probably also propagation of witchcraft, if you ask more religious opponents. (Seriously, considering Disney as progressive, is very weird in my opinion. And I think the person you replied to, did not actually think Disney is doing Propaganda, it was a mocking statement to the initial post)
- keyle 3y agoI see. So remakes with women, gay people having roles in TV etc. I guess if you're a religious zealot that would hurt. I miss the days where you had to be intelligent to be on the internet. Sorry, but social media royally fucked up humanity into a polarised war of opinions.
- lynx23 3y agoYeah yeah, girls get it done is of course the most believable trope ever.
- dandellion 3y agoProbably very different audiences to Vice. Most people I know who watch a lot of Netflix are the same that used to watch cable TV all day. And I'm not sure who exactly are Disney's target audience these days, but I don't think it's mature adults.

- detrites 3y agoDisney's share price has halved from its two year high.
- defrost 3y agoOr, more realitically, Disney's share price has returned to it's decade long steady state after the boom time of lockdown subscriptions has passed.
- detrites 3y agoPositive take. Yet, I doubt anyone who bought shares over the last two years shares your enthusiasm.
- defrost 3y agoI wrote a good chunk of the back end of what is now a widely referenced Standard & Poor Global Mineral Intelligence GIS database that draws together and cross references all global mineral leases and company data publicly filed in land offices and stock exchanges across the planet (and a few more odds and sods that take a bit more effort to unearth). I don't do "enthusiam" .. just the bald facts. Disney, like many other media and streaming companies in several countries, saw a COVID period boom in stock prices as more people watched media and more investors bet on streaming. That peaked and passed, falling back to pre COVID levels in the majority of cases. I dare say some day trading investors fumed and cursed culture wars attributing some facet of "woke" to what was a wide spread an thoroughly predictable occurrence echoed across multiple countries.
- detrites 3y agoIn the same time period Disney halved, the major indexes have retained value or increased. It's difficult to benchmark as competitors embraced the same ideologies. All we can say for sure is that against the market, they performed badly.
- revelio 3y agoDisney is very much not doing fine. They just replaced their CEO for a reason and they've had a long string of flops, as well as having trashed the Star Wars franchise.
