    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

        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.

        But shareholders always want money NOW.
