Some companies like Disney have chosen to foolishly double down on woke content (after numerous box office failures) and others like Warner have lost a lot of good will from their customers.
Corporations and marketing people have long sought to entice customers by researching what audiences want. But, the new model is to simply TELL customers what to buy, and shame audiences into compliance with a product if they don't like it.
Since 2016 the strategy of media has been to ATTACK customers in response to criticism rather than listening and learning. This hasn't gone over well. Today these businesses are paying the price for their trespasses against the free market.
It is unlikely that they will be able to win back audiences anytime soon, if ever.
