Would 100% watch film version of quite a few fraud cases where they just have a few/all of the characters as muppets. Feel like having muppets explain some of the details would make some of the dryer exposition stuff more entertaining, like what the big short did. Hell just make it a streaming series. "A history bitcoin: A muppets tale." Not like there isn't more than enough quality material for that.

Ups_rail posted:Personally I dont see why disney would invest in a crypto exchange. Disney does seem to have more money than they can reasonably spend. Possibly some idiot high decided to store some in Crypto instead of a bank due to better "interest" or what not. If it did happen and it's a large loss, they'd have to inform their shareholders at somepoint right, or can they just hide this if they want?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Probably because the concept is bad at a fundamental level. I don't think any of the million studio-owned streaming services are doing great right now. Is it though? Like only if you're stealing revenue for your streaming off other revenue like box office and what not. Like as I said for Disney it makes the most sense as they do have such an insanely large back catalog at the moment. Like of all the major streaming services, Disney+ seems one of the most likely to survive. I mean they own Hulu -what ever that still consists of- so I mean it would be hard to think they won't have a streaming service of some sort going on.

ymgve posted:I guess the issue is that Disney spent LOTS of money on Marvel TV shows, but not enough people subscribed to cover the costs of the productions. I'm assuming the star wars ones as well. They may make a bit back in merchandise and what not, but yeah that just becomes how much do you need to spend on new content to keep within budget (or do you want to lose a bit while you're still growing the network. Which Disney has deep pockets, so they can afford to do it for a bit if they think it will pay off). But yeah even if they stopped spending so much on the Marvel and Star Wars TV stuff, just do them pretty much just film only, keep putting some money into what ever cheap kids stuff they're churning out, and have their huge back catalog available. Still well worth it for a lot of people with kids. Easy money.

Dr. Fraiser Chain posted:I don't know why Disney just doesn't take the check to have their poo poo on Netflix et al. Why even bother spinning up the infrastructure to serve that content. You're going to drown in operating costs and reinvent the infrastructure problem that other companies have already solved. So like other streaming services like paramount are stupid for not doing this, but Disney legit has the back catalog, production studios, specific demographic -slightly less so with marvel/star wars/fox stuff but still all vague "family friendly" no independent, experimental or foreign films really", and brand recognition to pull it off. Amazon and apple seem to of got into production less about the streaming and more for something to sell through their stores, so that's a bit of a different model. Seems their more trying to create a home theater model for TV series... which I dunno maybe that could work? The actually just streaming services part of it seems more like an afterthought.

Darth TNT posted:I don’t even get how streaming is supposed to be making money at all. You have a set subscription, you spend billions of dollars to make shows and maintain the infrastructure and bandwidth. Their trying to get to where Netflix is. They had $24.9 billion revenue and $5.1 billion in profit in 2021. https://www.businessofapps.com/data/netflix-statistics/ Although honestly the math isn't quite working for me as like 220 million subscribes X $10-20 should be in the the $2.2-4.4 billion range, and subscriptions as far as I can tell are pretty much their only revenue, but that seems to be the numbers that are generally given. It's early, I dunno

Like how the hell is the cash just not there. Did they just manage to spend $ 8 Billion with out noticing. Did they never check how much cash they had left. Like the hell?

So it's been a long time since I was even sort of aware of what crypto exchanges were around. If Binance goes under is there still any major ones running? Seems to be the main one at the moment crypto spammers, spam. Is that one that was based of magic cards still about? That was always a laugh remembering that was a thing that exists.

So gizmodo looked into a bit and it looks like a company NFT INT LLC brought the likeness rights of trump off another place, even though the CEO of NFT INT LLC says there not involved with the trump project at all. Also the companies run out of a ups mail box in Utah. https://gizmodo.com/donald-trump-nft-trading-cards-1849900531 So yeah in short god knows what's happening. if you go to the place that sells the trump nfts at the bottom you'll actually see this disclaimer quote:NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms. Also according to the website they're sold out already. lol. Edit: also CIC Digital LLC seems to just be a shell company. it was created 9 months ago, and was register by a register agent out of that address in Delaware that's registered 285'000 plus companies.

And funnily enough reputation does sort of matter with this sort of scam. As it's very openly a scam making it know hey were crooks, but if you pay you will actually unlock you stuff makes people much more likely to pay. For my job a while back I needed to keep track of various IT scams and what not, and I remember at the time when ever the ransom ware stuff was mentioned on IT news/security places they'd always mention, while it's not really ethical to pay, if you do they will get you're computer unencrypted. This is slightly different because they didn't pay. But having a reputation for not being utter dicks and being understanding about stuff, might make some people more inclined to just pay up. Like good PR never hurts. Just look at the long history of crooks, gangsters, cartel members and what not that would give small bits of there cash to help out local people in need and what not. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jan 20, 2023 |

For some reason. I mean DRM usually actually has protections on it stopping you from copying it.

And other than for advertising what companies actually use facebook? Microsoft and Google already have plenty of services used by companies for actual work related things, facebooks lucky if the IT department haven't blocked it on all work computers so employees don't waste their day browsing it. I wonder if facebook is actually going to bother pouring money into any of the AR stuff that could actually be useful. With Zuck still in charge seems doubtful it still won't be just be wasted.

Lazyfire posted:There's some other genuinely interesting AR and VR applications and ideas, but I think they have been few and far between in our world because crypto and now AI are competing with AR for engineers and funding and more people are looking for things more flashy and short term profitable. Honestly I think AR isn't seemingly doing that much at the moment as Google and Microsoft both put quite a bit of money into their own varying versions of it, and it didn't take off, as it seems the tech just isn't there yet. Unlike VR and driving cars though there doesn't seem to need any giant technological leap forward o get it to the point where someone can start doing useful stuff with it. I'm sure within the next 10 years they'll be another big effort but one of the big tech companies to get it working, as there are very obvious real world business uses for it.

Kerbtree posted:imagine a pipe that's exactly 10 golf balls long. If you put a new ball in, one of the existing ones pops out. You still have 10 balls in the pipe, but one of them is the new one, not the one you started with. You spent/transferred that one. It's also important to note in British banking this isn't a metaphor, and all banks have massive warehouses in the countryside filled with pipes and golf balls to keep track of how much money is in all British banks. It's why finance types like golf so much, it's literally just hitting money around all afternoon.
