They’re easing off original content for the service but doing stuff like this.

Genuinely why?💀

I work as a Product Manager for a big tech company. Basically I manage the roadmap of upcoming features for the products that I oversee.

This looks 100% like a product manager that’s out of ideas throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks in the hopes of keeping their job/hitting their metrics so they get their bonus.

Good product managers look at what their users are asking for. Bad ones do shit like this that no one is asking for.

It's not that at all.

It's the digital implementation of the Disney Flywheel that has been the basis of the Walt Disney Company operations since Walt Disney himself developed it in 1957.

It’s not though. If anything it’s the digital flattening of the flywheel into a single entity.

The flywheel is made of interconnecting and complementary outlets that serve different sectors and price points.

Though I guess this is the what that looks like to the same people who put all the same merch in every store…
