Just wanted to say I really like the addition of the Wins and Fails title in the thumbnail - I know vague, catchy titles are the way to go now, but I always like to know if a video is a Wins and Fails or a Marketing Monday or a Reddit Recap or just some react content. Having it in the thumbnail is a good compromise.
I think they should make a new partnership company with a 50/50 split where Apple TV and Disney plus combine onto one platform, apple can manage the tech so it's more evenly balanced, that way through consolidation they manage to make money on their streaming platforms
I honestly cannot wait for the day when two AIs pretending to be people go on a virtual date, because the actual people were too awkward to do it themselves. My life will be complete then.
I'm from a country who's people flock to america in droves in search for a job, and out here, a H1B visa is often called the "lottery visa" because the process to get it is incredibly difficult. People who DO get it are seen as being "set in life and incredibly lucky". Those people are given sky-high expectations from their family, and are expected to contribute more to their family/collective. Losing said visa is like losing your life, with most of the people you know getting the idea that "Oh this guy lost his golden chance, what a dumbass", even if you had no control over keeping your job. Yes twitter should've laid off its workers if it has to stay afloat. But don't forget that the employees are not the "leftist SJWs with dyed hair" most think of them as, they're human beings that may be returning to abusive conditions at home or worse conditions in general, a fact twitter itself forgets from time to time. Seriously the amount of chad elon vs. Cuck SJW dyed hair wojak fat female twitter employee with a pride flag phone case memes i have seen is insane.
H1B is a visa designed to be exploited. America has always needed an exploitable working class who have little choice but to do as they are told and make their betters richer. The H1B is a simple agreement: "You will work the hours I tell you, off the books if need be, and forget about overtime. Sick days? You wish. You do whatever I want. Don't like it? Then you're fired, and deported, enjoy your poverty. Oh, you want to take legal action because I didn't pay you? Then you're fired anyway!"
The tough thing for me in Bob Iger as CEO coming from someone entrenched in the Disney brand (Stock, Annual passes, DVC, Disney+, DCL, ect.) is that while Chapek wasn’t good, Bob wasn’t great when he left either. He debuted the most widely criticized Star War Trilogy, started a bunch of projects that either went nowhere (NBA experience) or are still unfinished years later (Epcot entrance which has garnered the nickname by regulars as “The Hole”) with steady decline in the experience for guests who go regularly and pay the most money annually over his tenure with Chapek further nuking that experience and restricting the purchase of annual passes which have limited Disney’s Park revenue. Will be interesting to see play out but I don’t see Iger drastically improving that based on his actions prior to leaving.
Disney will learn absolutely nothing and will continue to alienate fans and families with woke garbage. Iger returning makes me think he left so he can look like the good guy after the inevitable COVID downtown when restrictions ended and people stopped binging on Disney plus as much as they did.
@@tylere.8436 honestly Disney+ was kinda destined to burn money if you look at the overall streaming space but I think parks are what really matters and makes Disney money. Cause you can make a good movie and make money but what’s one better, take that movie, and turn it into an attraction or experience (we’ve seen this with Ratatouille, Star Wars, Cars, ect.) such that you have millions spending a cool thousand easy on 1 trip most likely more in an ecosystem where you get every cent of that money (hotels, admission, food, drinks, merch). Like Disney could frankly release a couple mediocre movies a couple Home on the Ranges and still make bank if they just invested properly into the parks
@@Styrac he’s really been coasting off buying Pixar and Marvel while simultaneously doing jack to grow the brands in the last few years before his departure. Especially Pixar
conspiracy theory: bob chapek was used as a scapegoat to do some housecleaning and make all of the unpopular decisions before disney brought iger back so iger wouldnt be blamed for anything
i love the part where elon fired almost everyone responsible for going after explicit material featuring kids, then the anti-"woke" people called us predators for pointing that out
What’s insane was that the blue checkmark had to be shut down because of impersonation because Elon canceled the official badge before having to add it back
Don't forget he removed a lot of content moderation, and then had to put it back, because... _checks notes_ ... countries have laws (ref: things like the "German insult law").
@@atkascha he was also corrected by his Twitter employees and ex-employees several times after comments nonsense and also fired a dude for making a comment. Oh and he immediately folded on the price of Twitter blue checkmark from 20 dollars to 8 dollars when Stephen King said he wouldn’t pay the 20 dollar checkmark 😂
I legitimately do not understand why they didn’t just make twitter blue a discord nitro equivalent: more text, higher res images, animated and more customizable profile banners
Just wanted to add in some info about Story Book Brawl. To clarify Story Book Brawl, or SBB for short, isn't a crypto based game. The original studio was founded by a few pros from the Magic the gathering scene. The developers really wanted to push a competitive scene for the game even though they were still in early access. The whole community behind the game for the most part is really supportive of them. When they got acquired by FTX, it was a mixed bag. On the one hand, they didn't need to worry about the funding of the game anymore and were able to host more community events. On the other hand, they got review bombed by crypto haters on steam. Now that FTX is in this whole situation, it really sucks for the devs and the community. Everything is in limbo. Which sucks because the game is really fun and the feedback from the community and devs are really positive. Anyway thats just my 2 cents on the whole situation.
Haven't the reimbursement changes on Twitch demonstrated that a subscription based income model is inferior to an ad focused approach? I mean idk but Twitch certainly seems to think so.
The biggest tech fail? I've noticed since Elon's takeover is that the trending page thinks I'm really interested in Indian celebrities' birthdays. I'm Irish, I think I follow 2-3 Indian accounts but every day I get 3-4 birthday announcements from India on my suggested feed.
I went to Miami for a bachelor party last summer. We tried getting into a club, but were turned away because of our attire (button down shirts). Our friend showed up a few minutes later and assumed we had gotten in, so tried to get in himself. The bouncers let him right in because he was wearing a t-shirt...an Ethereum t-shirt.
Big a's just pumping out these bangers! I'm in a huge atrioc Phase rn and I'm also getting back into the community like I haven't been for a year! It's so fun here! I hope I catch the next Grind stream so I can make a song for it
Honestly I can't tell Musk's and Trump's tweets apart anymore. When an alleged genius starts sounding like the "world's most stable super-genius", he's beyond redemption.
i want to pause on the lawsuit because while it might be funny to laugh at, that woman is well within her right to sue kraft, and we should all be doing it more regularly. since the mcdonalds coffee lawsuit, companies have been trying to make suing them feel frivolous and unneccessary when in reality, it's them trying to scare us into not holding them accountable. Sue. Them. if there aren't enough cheez its in the bag to if you find trash in something your ordered from them, sue them. file a complaint and sue. do not let them convince you otherwise
@@llllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIl1 you will never win the corporations have lawyers on retainer and even if you do win the lawsuit they will make to take so long the legal fees will be more then you ever make. On top of that they will likely just talk to into a settlement where your lawyer still takes a hefty %
That lady is getting fleeced by lawyers. Yes, anyone can sue anyone for anything. However, the problem is paying for it and proving damages. Sometimes lawyers will take cases where they're only paid when they win, but I'd be incredibly surprised if this is one of those cases.
Iger made his name during a time of extremely easy money and credit while acquiring a multitudes of firms. It is easy to be a Trajan and expand a thriving empire, let us see if he can maintain a sprawling one during tough times
I doubt Disney could legally sell itself to apple. Although the FCC and regulation of monopolistic practices is at its weakest, I don’t think the government would ever allow it go through, simply due to the sheer amount of modern media control apple would then have in total.
is that how those laws work? I think the problem with the anti trust laws is that they worked super well 100 years ago, but monopolies work very differently now and most laws actually have little power against them.
That and another issue: The FTC tends to allow mergers if the American company is looking at an American company in a field with mostly foreign options. They hate consolidation, but they hate the idea of a Chinese or EU media company getting their hands on Disney a bit more.
Yet they let Disney buy up Fox, which was just as much of a consolidation. (Though Disney didn't buy nor want Fox News: Not touching that with a bargepole.)
@@defendthehex Yeah but was never meant to make money it was always just a flex for celebrity engagement with a blue checkmark. It will fail like MySpace and Facebook before it.
@@OhNoMrKoolaidMan I never get this take. If Twitter is a bad experience for a user, that's on the user... because you choose who to follow/block. I've got to interact with streamers/game devs/musicians/artists/fellow fans of a game/film, and just "really cool people" over the years.
@@charlett3736 Additionally, as Atrioc mentioned, the marketing tools/results Twitter has aren't great, partially due to how Twitter functions. Facebook now requires your real name (it didn't originally). LinkedIn requires your real name. You're searchable. They can assign demographics, and tangible/useful data on you to advertisers. On Twitter, I don't have my real name, my location, or any personal details anywhere, and use an alt email. They see a cartoon cat boy into FF14 and y2k aesthetic, and that's it. That doesn't mean anything to any company lol.
Just gonna say this real quick… how does Atrioc not have more subs?!? Like he’s legit an amazing streamer, RU-vidr, personality, hitman speed runner, etc…
@@Ukraineaissance2014youre telling me, that Brandon "Atrioc" "Glizzyhands" "the ghost" "head Glizzard" "the clown" "coffeecow" Ewing is not going to kiss someone who commented praise on his wins and fails video???
Genius move, just make half the employees work double the hours. BAM save 50% operations cost. If twitter was bloated then you wouldn't need to make the remaining people work double time after removing the bloat.
@@Razzlion Elon is centrist? He openly tells people to vote Republican lmao. He also just released a bunch of shit about Hunter Biden. So hating democrats and advertising Republicans is centrist to you?
@@THICCTHICCTHICC Eeh, you think releasing evidence of crimes against the people is somehow "anti-democrat"? You think we should hide all crimes commited by politicians so they don't loose votes? I don't see what you want as the outcome here. The reason he said to vote republican is because he thinks its the best for the country to have a split goverment. Democrats hold presidential office so the republicans should hold congress.
It has since been confirmed that Apple and Amazon has resumed ad spending. They are both the largest and second largest spenders on Twitter ads with each over $100M per year. 💰💰💰
Love Atrioc, but he massively underestimates the engineering work to keep Twitter reliable, safe, and compliant. IT is harder than it looks. It's true there is still some inertia, though, and that's why Twitter isn't going down today. Still agree that the company is bloated, though I imagine sure most devs had some specific knowledge & duty. If you want to optimize, you need to carefully reorganise that. You don't want to lose weight by cutting off your fingers.
I was gonna say this, Twitter is so much more complex than the layperson can recognize. Pretty much every CS or SW person I’ve seen analyze this agrees on that point. It can’t run on a skeleton crew forever It’s like people think it either has to be a machine that constantly needs somebody pumping it to keep it from exploding or it is eternal and never will go out, there’s no in between. They can’t conceptualize that the systems are durable, but cracks can and will always spawn in the most unnoticeable locations, and if you don’t have someone who’s deeply intimate with the system they won’t even know where to look let alone how to fix it
I don’t think streaming companies realize everyone even old people and people who don’t touch computers know how to watch shit for free. There’s like 8 sites to watch free shows and movies as long as u have an adblocker
Apple is one of the most curated brands, in terms of marketing/PR, on the planet. They most likely told him "figure out the content moderation, or we're gone". The last thing Apple wants is some racist/homophobic post, next to one of their ads for people to screenshot, because it obviously looks bad... which effects their bottom line, and stock price. Its not because they're "morally a good company" ( _looks at Foxconn, and African mineral mines_ ).
I don't know why, but watching this video I feel as if I fell into a wormhole and got transported a decade into the past. Major 2012 RU-vid vibes here.
The Mac and cheese thing is because so many corporations have avoided accountability by sliding in Terms and Conditions to everything you do. If you check almost all products, you have already agreed to waive your right to sue or use their favorite arbitrator. But not with food, and not with advertising, so that's why.
Those movies take longer to make than Chapek has been in charge. Most likely than not those last movies that had flop were green light by Iger before he left.
