    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.

        The company at large might, but I wouldn’t underestimate the stupidity of smaller divisions having problems if a single decision saw immediate financial backlash. I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also think companies often do stupid shit.
