Tubi is quickly proving itself to actually be the streaming service every other one promised they were. I'd gladly pay $1 a month to use it if they ever wanted to charge.
Disney wants to win the streaming wars, so Comcast decides to run up the bid on the Fox purchase for shits and giggles and then bend Disney over on the Hulu deal.
Bob Iger is an idiot, so Disney buys both anyway for way more than either is worth.
Comcast takes Disney's money and uses it to go directly after Disney's bread and butter in the Florida theme park market and in animation.
Fox takes Disney's money and uses less than half a billion of it to buy Tubi and immediately become more profitable than the streaming service that Disney just spent over a hundred billion on.
Disney is getting fucked from all sides and they are the ones bankrolling all of it.
Iger was the worst decision Disney ever made, the man managed to single handedly tank every single IP that was built by others before him and even under him and for the ultimate fuck you, they brought him back after his toxicity was the reason everything started losing money.
The business should never have been hijacked from the Disney family to begin with. Not Iger, not Eisner, not Katzenberg. Eisner's tenure did print the company a lot of money (with their genealogy, what else would you expect) but it changed Disney from that "innocent" company who turned still drawings into masterful works of art into a predatory, omnipotent corporation that didn't even want you home taping their classics when they came on TV. A company that bought out its partners and competitors left, right and center all the while spreading its hooked tentacles into every facet of not just American life, but just about every other culture too.

It really should be a bigger story.

Disney died with Roy E. Disney.
