#Pride may be over but the gays are winning and Disney is getting their shit rocked
The little bird told me that Disney+ is busy tanking because the value of the streaming platform isn't higher than revenue from other places streaming their stuff.
Not to mention Netflix, for instance, does indeed have a ton of self produced content, but it also streams a TON of content from various other companies. However, Disney+ is locked into only streaming first party content. And although that DOES include some content from 20th Century Fox, the majority of their streaming content is purely Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and NatGeo content (most likely newer content produced after Disney acquired them in 2015).
Compare to somewhere like Netflix where right now I can stream both Godfather movies, RRR, an insane amount of Bollywood films, East Asian tv shows and movies from a vast variety of countries (from China to Singapore to Japan etc etc), documentaries, anime, LITERALLY ALL OF ONE PIECE, as well as Norwegian content, UK content, US content, and I even saw a show made in Luxembourg.
This means Disney can't just license something to put on Disney+ but has to either make something in-house or completely acquire streaming rights to something they already have under their umbrella.
All this while ALSO managing the technicalities of actually running a streaming platform in a digital sense. So now they can only stream 1st party content, AND they have to pay to keep the place they're streaming their content up and running smoothly as well as the various other ways you have to put money into a streaming platform (like marketing it for instance).
Turns out... all this costs a lot more money and Disney+ isn't getting much money from subscriptions to really give them any profit worth talking about. And the content Disney IS streaming on other platforms, is outmatching the value of their ENTIRE streaming platform.
so i noticed that graph is based on data collected in 2011, and i got curious. the most recent one they have now is 2016.
also the website is a wonderful resource i’ve been exploring. it breaks down the intimidating complexity of US politics to help busy folks who want to understand better but don’t know where to start. and as someone who is neurodivergent, the charts and graphs they use are so helpful for comprehension!

Got my eyebrows threaded 💕
Never had my eyebrows done before, it's subtle but I think it helps a lot 💕
Maybe I didn't, but I can still make those memories now.
I've been dealing with some dysphoria about my childhood and not having those experiences that it seems like a lot of my friends had- but it's okay because I can still have those experiences now.
