It's not just the movie theater chains that are threatened by the new model, the movie and tv studios are fighting a losing battle against new competition. They have control over theaters that they can use to pretend netflix and amazon are not direct competition or competition on the same level.
It's not just Netflix and Amazon, but among Zoomers and even younger children like Generation Alpha, TikTok, Twitch (owned by Amazon) and YouTube (owned by Google) is where they see their new favorites. Disney, Comcast, AT&T, and Netflix have even more competition if you consider that there are infinitely more people making infinitely more content and they don't even need gatekeepers anymore.
Re: Disqus platform Doesn't Seem to Moderate at All
Disqus is not a platform but a tool for using comments. There's no need for global moderators because there are many different moderation fiefdoms that get the job done well, and would be extremely hampered if section 230 were to enter the dustbin of history.
Bear in mind that there's a non-zero number of these people who simultaneously fetishise the US flag and the confederate battle flag that symbolises an army that fought against them, without a shred of irony.
If I may quote one of my friends, it's because "the only think they like about the American flag is the racism!"
And yet there's no Sega Genesis Chalmers (for our European friends, there's no Sega Mega Drive Chalmers either because Springfield is in the United States).

Too bad our military budget goes to the CEO salaries of corporate mercenary profiteers rather than to where it needs to go.
