Amazon is much bigger than Disney.

The bigger the company gets:

- the more control it has over the planet

- the more likely its going to collapse over its size (similar to Roman Empire)

- the more likely a smaller startup will provide value to a niche segment of its target market and take that over

- the more likely a smaller startup will totally disrupt it

- the slower it takes to adapt to its environment, making it suceptible to a collapse with rapid change of environment, making other smaller startups take it over.

etc etc etc.

no, people will be watching entertainment for centuries before they grow past it. Culture changes incrementally, not over years or even decades. It moves so slowly that people don't even notice it. Just like tectonic plates. Did you notice that slavery was recently abolished? Did you notice that recently the internet has pretty much replaced television channels for movies? In the same way if people go beyond watching entertainment and focus on impact, you wont notice it happened because of how slow it would have moved.

etc: there are a lot of interesting properties associated with large corporations compared to small ones. If you like theory you can check out complexity theory applied to business.

Walt Disney is rolling in his grave at what Disney has become.

Yes that's correct. But not always(like Amazon, Uber, etc).

Disney may buy up all of Hollywood in the near future.

Maybe they'll buy Pornhub one day

@Leo Gura

And what would Disney think of Disney today? What do you mean by this? Would he acquire other people's content or focus on original content?

 

I want to know this because I am a writer myself, and want to know how big company's (like Disney) work.
