More Evidence of Entertainment Industry BotNet

We've been covering the investigation into a vast system of synthetic social media accounts used to manipulate online discourse and algorithms in favor of corporate messaging. Now, we have more information regarding this that I think readers of this Patreon might very much enjoy. Please note that this is outside of my normal expertise, but we are running all of this through folks who have high knowledge of how it all works. 

The following message comes from a reader who I think is ...

IATSE Strike Could Shut Down Hollywood -- Thoughts from a Guild Exec

I received a message from a guild executive that I just can't keep to myself. Hollywood is in full freak-out mode as they wrangle with the possibility of another strike at the same time theater chains could start going under (and due to Hollywood's own bad decisions). Another strike would spell utter doom for the industry; thus the strikers would have all the leverage in the world. 

For the sake of understanding what is on the horizon (and the trades are too afraid to report on les...

Former Disney CFO Criticizes Disney Creative Process

John F Trent is back at it again, this time with an excellent write-up that is sure to make Nelson Peltz happy today. It's a must-read!

Vast Paid Conspiracy to Manipulate Social Media by Entertainment Companies?

Take a look at the images shared here... note the blue checks. Are they human? Are they bots? One thing is for sure, they sure do say similar things. And it's happening very often. Don't miss the video coming out tomorrow morning when we host someone who says he's cracked the code in tracking down how the entertainment companies are utterly manipulating social media.... and at great cost!

How Amazon Defeated Disney in Streaming: Learning from Rings of Power

As you all know, not everything we receive (or even remotely close) can make it into the public eye. That includes YouTube as well as That Park Place. However, we're keen to provide you with more access here in hopes that it let's you see behind the curtains of how we're handling information.

The below text is a small subset of information we received from one of my very highest-level sources who is utterly kind and helpful in getting us early access. We're using this in the video today...

Behind the Curtain of the Three-Day Demonetization

Happy to day to everyone here with us today! We've gained a large number of folks who want to be a part of understanding the behind-the-scenes journalism we do and that's fantastic! I want to let you know that we have plans to integrate this Patreon in the future with ThatParkPlace.com and I believe you'll all really enjoy that.

As for the demonetization of the WDW Pro Channel which lasted three days, I was contacted by two major players on YouTube. I didn't reach out to these individua...

Thank You -- Information on Why YouTube Demonetized Coming Out Later

Good day, everyone. I would first like to thank all who have become members of this Patreon over the last 72 hours. Despite the WDW Pro Channel being restored on YouTube, this Patreon will continue as we need a safe place to talk about content simply too spicy for YouTube (and probably too spicy for www.thatparkplace.com). Later today, I'm going to do just that. 

This evening, we're going to have information for you from a source who reached out to us with an explanation of why The...

Exclusive: Read the Letter from a Former Hasbro Exec

Well, we've remonetized on YouTube... frankly I'm shocked. At the same time, we're going to continue offering tremendous value here on Patreon in the way of providing you with exclusive information that is too spicy (or sensitive) to put anywhere else. Today, I'd like to do that. For the first time ever, we're giving you a look behind the curtain. 

As you likely know, I have gathered a large number of highly-placed sources all throughout the various industries. It's how we get the ...

Nelson Peltz Pulling Out of Disney Proxy Fight?

Over on Puck News, we're getting word that Nelson Peltz might be ready to give up on Disney and the proxy fight. But is that true?

While you have heard many times from me that I don't believe Peltz will win seats on the board for 2024, I also suspect that this only builds pressure in the cooker so that he may win far more in 2025. That's because Disney has taken an "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to winning over investors. I'm not here to give you financial advise (and this p...

More Info on The Pro Channel Situation

The Demonetization of The Pro Channel and Background

As many of you know, The WDW Pro Channel was demonetized by YouTube in the middle of a Friday night over "reusing others' content". As a news channel, that's hard for us to make defense against because there's no specificity as to what exactly we reused. Was it an ad that popped up in an article we were reading and is considered "others' content"? It is a trailer that we watched after triple-checking it wouldn't violate any copyright issues? Is it the new intro that we ran through copyright c...
