Every time I'm at the comic book store I can't help but wonder if anyone at Disney Marvel has ever been to a comic book store. Heck, do any of the people in charge of DC/Marvel ever go to any shops.

I doubt it. They're the kind of people who live online on social media in their echo chambers all day.

On a somewhat related note, I occasionally watch https://www.youtube.com/@AlphaInvestments69 It's some guy who invests in trading cards (mostly Magic, Pokemon) professionally. He stays out of politics and only talks business.

He frequently talks about how Hasbro doesn't know much much about brick and mortar card stores or even gives a shit. For example, Hasbro dumped a ton of product below cost on Amazon which killed a bunch of TCG stores and caused many others to shun their products. Basically, these people are terminally online and the execs know nothing about trading cards as the hop from unrelated industry to industry.
