Consuming on your cultural narratives. Capturing the myths of society behind lock & key. Transforming them into vampires. https://t.co/p6t5bycJhI
"They may be popular entertainment, but they also serve some of the same functions that myths did for ancient peoples. In a way Disney movies are modern mythology."https://t.co/soFqWTLFjS https://t.co/0kNER9qAyM

Nothing is sacred to a company buying up our myths and locking them behind a copyright moat that spans literal centuries. https://t.co/DHdNi5HNlUhttps://t.co/xCgbg77pU8
A living system made of humans, but not controlled by them.https://t.co/3mLNqYzZqC

Ah yes, the anime wars of 2019, when our societie's collective mythos was drawn and quartered. Are you a netflix family or a disney+ family? https://t.co/QCElgMSaTvMe? I watch YouTube content (owned by DisneyCorp) which has been slowly migrating 2 dozen channels over to Twitch.
Those whom pirate content for children will be on same cultural playing field as upper class types whom afford to feed their children a steady drip of popular content across all distrobution channels.My vote? Sell shovels to people digging up their own meaning. Media goldrush.

"I don't know if Disney particularly cares-- they're not out to buy anything that's profitable, only the things that fit their business model. LEGO might fit, but it's kinda iffy."Iffy? IFFY?! what do you think Disney's business model even is?https://t.co/HFNIi16JOj

Disney is only the tip of the iceberg. Large scale consolidation of public media channels seem to be happening in nearly every avenue.https://t.co/YUJmyNu4JZ
@infiniturtle My interest in that: how large scale trends behind local newspaper businesses being bought up seems to be happening to the TV news stations (mirroring the previous trend of clear channel gaming FCC to buy radio). Quickly into political territory tho. https://t.co/tZgacpPtmb
Oh no. I watched a film-theorist video about Moana being an embodiment of an ocean god, and then later I watched a someone do a build of a mickey-mouse mecha.Now i'm getting recommendations for the omnipresent egregore. https://t.co/BDVNX4QNAm

It's time to play the music? It's time to remember that song... It's time to harp on nostalgia. Maybe they'll like us if we have a sing-a-long.And yet: "Even the Muppets canβt make Facebook Portal seem less creepy" https://t.co/Z9vdg9kjge https://t.co/BbOmjxzIAF
