I need to go back and find the specific video, but the two sources I use for insider stuff like that are Valliant Renegade and WDW Pro for my sources on that.

Valliant has his opinions on culture war stuff (he leans our way), but he is far more concerned with the financials since he thinks all of the woke and ESG last as long as they think they can stop the bleeding. And since he does financial work as his day job, he knows a lot of companies are starting to kick it to the curb, and Disney is actually the oddball for trying to go full ride or die on ESG.

Pro is a guy who has insider sources at Disney, but unlike a lot of others he only makes a point if he can back it up. So on multiple occasions he has thrown cold water on people running around hyping up rumors that he already knows arent true (including calling out Doomcock by name for always jumping at every shadow instead of doing research, as much as he likes him).

Both of them have typically been ahead of the curve on some of this stuff. They were also my primary source (including Legal Mindset) for what would end up happening with Reedy Creek, and everything Mindset said would happen did (almost like his dayjob is "one of a few dozen lawyers in Florida who specialize in Special District Law.").

EDIT: Found a clip of them discussing it. Essentially, it would allow people to start getting some money flowing in since they arent doing anything with it right now, and lets them get around issues with their in-house talent being so terrible. Then they can still take all of the credit. It wasnt brought up by them, but just look at the fact that Star Wars: Visions (which was all independent stories that were just licensed under Star Wars) was one of the first immensely popular things Disney did with it in a long time.
