Hollywood: Social Engineering or Market Fuckery - Get woke, get rich???
Lots of choices being made by Hollywood that defy all common sense. From doing the exact opposite to what fans gravitate towards and then subjecting those who speak out in criticism to ridicule and maybe worse. I mean how can you fuck up even Star Wars? If there was ever a golden egg laying goose that would be it. Then there's the tokenism with established characters being replaced by 'diversity', of which there are countless examples to date. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

Lots of threads on here re: the Social manipulation stance but is it really that?

One thing most could agree upon being consistent among the degenerates at the top is their insatiable greed. Why piss up good earnings for an agenda that they didn't give two shits about? Do they really care about the plight of LBGTBQS$%#X SJW's? I seriously doubt it myself but who knows...

What if they are banking on their projects to tank though? They know if they piss off the main demographic and stir up the hive that 2 polarizing outcomes in the box office takings are more likely.. it hits or it misses & maybe not much of a meh in-between result. What if somehow they are hedging their invested capital in these movies with some form of options contract and are in the money if it flops and in the money if its a hit? Why fuck around with uncertainty of a major production resonating with the fans when you can be sure of getting paid and watching the world burn in the meantime. To a sociopath its win-win.

Dunno, perhaps. Just seems odd that it has gone on for so long when from the start earnings from ticket sales alone would have been less than ideal.

Even if they don't break even they make money. They have thousands of shell companies which charge for the use of sets and studio locations that have already been paid for 1000X over. Don King the boxing impresario actually copied this strategy to the point men would win a world championship and they would owe Don King money because they used his sparring gyms, training camps, nutritionists, PR reps etc.

Oh yeah I've no doubt the finger in many jars thing would have been going on since way back. I'm trying to figure out how this virtual signalling nonsense is benefiting them.



... Unless we're suggesting they're genuinely concerned about social issues and inclusivity for the minorities.

I've wonder just that same thing myself. I'm not an expert, but I think it would be a bit complicated to pull off, becuase the studios are all private companies. As such, there really aren't any securities to short. You could still maybe do something like this in a roundabout way though, but it would be more complicated and involve more risk in botching it.

The bean counters can get really creative when scheming up these options and derivatives. I'm not an expert either and my theory is far from complete/solid, but warranted by the absurdity of what they're doing to their businesses.

Disney whistleblower told SEC the company inflated revenue for years

[link to www.marketwatch.com (secure)]
____________________________________________________________



I think we may see more like this in near future. There was a lot of speculation about this by the Fandoms ie MCU & Star Wars, with regards to buying their own tickets etc.

Some of the article cherry picked below..


whistleblower filings, which have been reviewed by MarketWatch, outline several ways employees allegedly boosted revenue, including recording fictitious revenue

alleged that employees sometimes recorded revenue twice for gift cards, both when guests bought the gift card and when it was used at a resort

Sometimes, revenue was recorded even though a gift card was given to a guest for free following a customer complaint


Of course Disney outright deny the the claims and say they're "utterly without merit". We shall see.

All that money printing by the deep state? Where do you think a lot of it goes? In many many many different directions.
