    Except these are more than just content companies. They are empires with tons of shell companies and child companies under their roof.

    And it giving any company that much control of a market is a death sentence. If they begin to crash, the entire economy around that will crash. And it will ripple.

      Nah they’ll become “too big to fail” and whenever they lose a dice roll they’ll get a multi billion cash infusion from taxpayers like banks do when they lose bets.

        They don’t have to actually crash, they just need to start to crash.

        Then competitor’s values will drop, they’ll buy them up, and then get bailed out.

      And yet, a combined Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery would only be a tiny fraction of the size of Disney.
