      Thank you, I am so goddamn sick of these pandering headlines that are published simultaneously as the opposite spin which is algorithmically sent to right-wing viewers.

      We have to start figuring this shit out as a society or we’re sunk. For every headline that makes you feel a thing, there is a counterpart headline being circulated on the other side that makes them feel the same thing. Nothing can be trusted, everything is being made up to increase views and engagement and division.

      Outcome predictions probably came from a room filled with bean counters at the behest of a soulless wraith in a suit saying that profits would be maximized because 51% of subscribers would continue buying Disney+. But now they’re realizing that the blatant 1A violation profits were slightly below the 50% margin so they’re all shitting their pants trying to fix the fuckup that came about because people aren’t robots and MAGA cultists are less of their demographic than they’d anticipated.

        A company that size makes predictions in terms of years and decades, this is barely going to be a margin-note in their long term plans.

        I am shocked how much people underestimate huge organizations.

        If you want this to actually surprise them, we need to do something that will actually surprise them, like not get bored with the entire story in 4 months time.

        spoiler: everyone is going to get bored within weeks.

      I think they barely cared, and still don’t care. It barely constitutes a footnote.

      “A larger amount of subscribers will ‘churn’ this month and we have reason to believe most will be back to watch the next season of Andor.”

      Yep. They knew exactly what was going to happen and calculated that this is the best option.
