Here is what I see happening. I do think a ban for live streaming is coming. But it’s not coming to protect the user experience. That is not what this Disney is about. What they are about are the all important earnings report and stock price. Nothing else matters. So I see cast members as the new streamers. Disney parks items sold in tik tok shop. Streaming exclusive merch! Gifting revenue. They monetize, they control the narrative. The guest experience still suffers but they are making money so who cares right. Cheap advertising. Exploit the FOMO!

I agree with all of that but gifting. An army of college kids making free content for nothing. No gifting. No rides. No commissions. They can mount cameras on the rides and sell that on Disney+

Agreed. Very well stated. I hope Disney takes this seriously and nips it in the bud before it’s too late. Or is it already too late? It’s teetering on the bubble that is bound to pop at any moment and liability will probably be the reason if a ban takes place. It’s reckless on their behalf to not take heed in this warning.
