I've never invested before though so I might not do it though. Any good books on investing you recommend?
if you can't do it right don't do it. start with paper trading. I can't give advice I'm not a licensed investor but look on youtube for some channels and Twitter/Reddit has good stuff. :pachaha: I will say this though. don't listen to Jim Cramer.
r/investing is a good start they have a whole faq

I don't think Disney+ was a mistake but I think the way they ran it was. The initial reaction to Disney+ was "oh snap I can watch all the classics from my childhood." My mom signed up specifically to watch Lady & The Tramp lol. Add in the movies from later decades, Disney Channel shows etc etc and it's quite an impressive amount of content. There was no real need to spend insane amounts of money on any new shows, IMO. Sure Mandolarian made sense but virtually everything else? Ehhh.

I would have focused on Disney Channel type new shows for kids and teens, a couple MCU shows, one Star Wars show, and that's that. Let the rest of the catalog carry you. It's not like anyone has watched everything on there by now lol.
I agree. They didn't know what to do with it. They couldn't decide if they would catalog it or use it for mainly new content. This cause then to also not know who to market it to.

They should've kept it to a percentage of their huge library, rotate the library, and maybe 1 or 2 original shows per year, and an original Disney movie and special bi-annually.

They're not putting out Marvel movies at a rate higher than before. So he's just trying to shift blame. And they've live-actioned the same rate they've put out SW & Marvel shows.

Comicbook movies and Star Wars were always a nice market, that sometimes spills over into mainstream. Everyone knows that. They took a loser's bet, and if course lost.
