They were not actually making a profit from Disney+. What is making them the money are the parks.

Then MTV hilariously cut its runtime, created a new program they hoped to promote to the demo, so they put it between RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race Untucked.

This made it so the new show can be easily seen as to blame for stealing Drag Race's runtime, maybe making people want to watch it even less when some of its cast already made some Drag Race fans not eager to watch it.

So... made Drag Race shorter and noticeably missing segments, made people have to wait for Untucked, put a person of questionable popularity among the audience in said show, and made the show look completely to blame.

And then nobody wanted to hate watch.

So... that was a great move on MTV's part.

(Also, made a Teen Wolf movie without writing a script first, and without one of the core characters.)

he lost anyway

Yeh it’s slow as fuck but also great but stringing us along

Sorry, but everything you wrote is wrong. Like , factually wrong.

Adult centered commercials paid more moneh

One interesting thing is that Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego was part of the 90's push for educational content, but unfortunately it disappeared because the information given by the show would quickly get outdated. There are some episodes where they actually had to put up a disclaimer,

aren't you off by 5-10 years for the attitude era?

like...no one still believed it was real during that spot...I think?

First paragraph tries to sell a narrative that, on surface level, describing services as first being good before being bad seems to contain some deeper truth. It ignores that as many sites start "bad", but we tend to only notice those that start good because bad starts tend to get discontinued. Plus, becoming mainstream inherently puts strain as well as its own evolution on sites and in terms of social media like reddit, the impossibility of moderating the largest subs or the sheer amount of users is what "enshittens" things. It's just describing some natural challenges in business growth in other words, separating "users" from business customers. The fuck is a business customer?

Entertainment journalism, ever the wild frontier.

Interesting

Haven't seen any Star Trek around here since at least 14 years ago. Though that was a partially flawed action version (though very good action despite its flaws).

Which could cost Disney around 9 billion dollars to buy Comcast’s third part of Hulu, even the CEO hinted they might look to sell it instead and just move their content over to Disney+ or perhaps Star+ as it’s already known for outside the US.

Other Redditors commented on it. Basically, there was a change in regulations with regard to children's programming that lead to more live-action, education-oriented shows.

Disney can’t combine Hulu into Disney+ without resolving Comcast’s stake.

I have literally never had a problem with hearing/understanding dialogue ever since I got a system with a center channel.

It’s always people with shitty tv speakers or sound bar that only outputs stereo. Center channel is required.

Paramount Global is everything that is wrong with the super mega corps. If it were several (maybe 10) smaller companies, they could all be successful and produce slow and steady growth for shareholders. Those companies could actually employ many, many more people who could afford to subscribe to even more individual media platforms.

Like I said, I’m here for the Star Trek. I don’t care if it is old IP

Half of the $1.5 billion write down is folding Showtime into Paramount. So it looks like they've have a couple hundred million in programming, but the majority of the savings seems to be coming from integrating staff and budgets from Showtime.

Not sure about Disney but I'd guess some of that number might be from an anticipated combination of Hulu and Disney as well.

Even the legacy brands are struggling. They moved RuPaul’s Drag Race from VH1 over to MTV hoping that it might get some people to actually watch MTV for the first time in a decade.

It would be nice if niche things made a comeback from these huge conglomerates but unfortunately I think this will be the tactic. Shallow, broad content until everyone buys each other out.

All they have is old IP. When they launched, they had a superbowl commercial that had a bunch of characters climbing their peak. It included Picard, Beavis and Butthead, Spongebob Squarepants etc.

I mean, they friggin made a TV show about an awesome movie they made in the 70s! It's wild how they are clinging onto past successes.

I can assume that we will have something around only 2 shows per month (new shows or new seasons) in the vast majority of streams. I imagine 24 "big" shows is a limit for them. I used quotes around "big" because they aren't necessarily good shows, most being unoriginal (a prequel, a sequel, a franchise; oh god I hate franchises right now).
