Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.
Because different people like dofferent things and all “art” is subjective. You are not an immutable objective font or source of truth. Therefore, whilst you might believe it’s shit, any many will agree. You are simultaneously correct and incorrect in your assessment.
Or in short.
Not everyone likes what you like, so they pay for disney if thats what makes them happy.
What me being in a bubble has to do with anything? I know there are people who like this shit. I personally know people who absolutely love this shit. Doesn’t make it any less shitty.
You are the kind of guy who is so over himself that can’t even see how cringe it looks from outside.
Man, I love Futurama, is that shit too? Please don’t hurt my feelings. Your objective opinion is everything to me.
Yes, subjectively, it does. Art is not objective. It literally can’t be by its very nature. If you know people who like it, then you are admitting that you understand this.
If so then you are not in a bubble.
If you still try to claim that it is all objectively shit (which is quite a broad statement considering how much content there is on the platform, widely considered to be excellent) then you are in a bubble.
That’s not what being in a bubble means. Being in a bubble means I only have contact with some specific content and I’m not aware of the reviews and revenue Disney content gets. Knowing that people like it and still saying it’s shit just means I’m smarter than most people and can judge this content better than the masses.
It’s actually quite a versatile term. Being in a bubble simply means living in your own world. This can mean many things, such as rejecting views that dont line up with your own. Which is exactly what you are doing. I laid down a straight fact that art is subjective, and you said no. You are wrong, but you would rather live in your bubble where you are right than accept that you are wrong.
You are even wrong about what being in a bubble means. In that, you think its meaning is strictly one thing. When in fact, it’s really quite subjective…
Edit. Oh god, did you just say you are smarter than most people? Thats so bad. What are you? Like 12 years old?
So every time you have an argument with someone they ‘live in a bubble’? Every time someone disagrees with you they are “living in their own world”? I don’t think this is how it works.
ive in a bubble
To remain physically or socially isolated from some threat.
To live life completely absorbed in or insulated by one’s limited reality or life experience.
To ignore, avoid, or deny reality.
No, it does not mean “reject views”. Reject views is completely different from denying reality. What we’re talking about are opinions and interpretations. Not agreeing with you about it is not ‘being in a bubble’. You’re simply using this term wrong.
But moving on. It’s easy to say ‘art is subjective’ and pretend it’s closes the topic but obviously there are better and worse movies. You have movies that explore interesting ideas in creative and daring ways and than you have Marvel type movies which are just pure entertainment without anything original or novel in them. These are no more ‘art’ than a ride on a roller coaster is. It’s fun but empty. There’s nothing subjective to it. People liking something does not make it art.
You replied to some other comments, conceding that there was good quality content on disney+. So you contradict there your entire argument here.
I didn’t say art being subjective closes the argument. I said it counters yours. You said it’s all shit. I said that’s a matter of opinion, and you said it isn’t. That’s you avoiding or denying reality.
You are factually wrong about that statement. It is, in fact, a matter of opinion. What makes art or media “good” is a collective agreement on what “good” is. What standards we all agree upon. This means that if you say it’s shit thats you opinion, ita not an objective fact. Its subjective. What is it they say? beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Tour bubble is your refusal to accept the possibility that you might be wrong.
But i suppose its as good a hill as any to die on.
Ah yes of course, National Geographic are famous for making kids stupid, that’s why those shows are on Disney+. Futurama is a cartoon so must be a kids show.
I guess you’re right. Not all content on the platform is shit, only all content made by Disney is. But I highly doubt a lot of people pay for Disney+ to watch non-Disney content.
Maybe you should read what they offer? Depends where you draw the line on what is “Disney content” (just kids animated films and shows?), but they have all Star Wars and most Marvel content.
Depending where you draw the line, I subscribe for only the non-Disney content. Though I may have to re-evaluate my sub soon…

Nah, it’s objectively shit.
Well, At least i know who im talking to now and dont need to waste any more time with it. Have fun in your bubble.

First couple seasons were great. The movies were shit. Later seasons were shit.
I mean, you could just stop with the movies if it is that bad. Aaahh everyone is a critic.
Yes, subjectively, it does. Art is not objective. It literally can’t be by its very nature. If you know people who like it, then you are admitting that you understand this.

None of this really matters. At least not to me.
If that’s how you judge Disney+ I guess you say the same of all streaming services except the Criterion channel?
No, other services have some good stuff. Disney+ is only a good option if you have kids and you don’t want them to be very smart when then grow up.

I definitely include all star wars and marvel content in the shit Disney content category.
Ah okay. I’m glad you’re informed on the breadth of content you’re calling shit!
