As Disney tries to convert as many children into their woke cult, it appears they have suffered financially for it. This just shows that they are more interested in indoctrination than they are making money.
Disney suffered a 14% decrease in domestic advertising revenue due to fewer impressions.
Disney revealed that ESPN subscribers decreased by 7% from the previous year.
The company noted that costs of products have increased by 11% – in part due to inflation.
Walt Disney Company admitted that engaging in culture wars has inflicted major impacts across the board.
"We face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products, which impact demand for our entertainment offerings and products and the profitability of any of our businesses," the SEC filing stated. "Our businesses create entertainment, travel and consumer products whose success depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways."
Disney said the "misalignment" with its consumers has impacted "broadcast, cable, theaters, internet or mobile technology, and used in theme park attractions, hotels and other resort facilities and travel experiences and consumer products."
Disney said its products are sometimes "introduced into a significantly different market or economic or social climate from the one we anticipated at the time of the investment decisions."
The entertainment conglomerate confessed that its environmental and social goals present "risks."
"Further, consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands," Disney admitted. "Consumer tastes and preferences impact, among other items, revenue from advertising sales (which are based in part on ratings for the programs in which advertisements air), affiliate fees, subscription fees, theatrical film receipts, the license of rights to other distributors, theme park admissions, hotel room charges and merchandise, food and beverage sales, sales of licensed consumer products or sales of our other consumer products and services."
Disney said its leisure business is affected by various factors, including health concerns and the political environment.
