Reposted by DerekKev Kage @kevkage.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Exactly that - Chapek came in and destroyed all the goodwill because he thought he was the only person ballsy enough to cut corners and charge the guests more but he was coasting on the effects on NOT doing that. He has no concept of brand health or reputation. Still doesn't. And bragging about it!! 071

The thing is that probably everyone in SoCal at some point was either a passholder, knew a passholder, or aspired to be a passholder.

Five percent. $50 million is 5% of one billion. They are spending more than that to keep it from going back to the people they've stolen their obscene wealth from. 162

Reposted by DerekKev Kage @kevkage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He is not a consumer, so he has no concept of consumer behavior. He lucked into working for a brand that spent decades building its reputation on how it treated people, and wants a parade because he thinks he invented exploiting people to maximize revenue. 161
Reposted by DerekKev Kage @kevkage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In Chapek's book, he prides himself on being a "disruptor" which is something he probably heard at a conference once and now wears like a badge of honor. Most of the behaviors he "disrupted" were unwritten contracts between a company and their consumer. 182

Reposted by DerekDarren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The streaming model doesn't fit the current capitalist model of profitability gauged by growth. After you've found your plateau of subscribers, you have to raise prices to show growth. Nothing in nature constantly grows like that, except bacteria in a petri dish, right before a major collapse. 1131
