Dear David Zaslav, I have drawn a picture for you!!!

Now, revenue=price*demand. Since demand decreases with price, you end up with a curve that peaks then goes to 0. profit = revenue - cost, cost includes your salary!

Anway, jack up your prices, and..... #firedavidzaslav
a beautiful graph in blue! the price is on the x-axis and profit is on the y-axis! it is a wobbly parabolic-shape, peaking (with an arrow pointing to it that says "DZ becomes CEO") and going down to 0 (with an arrow saying "WBD Dec '25"). There is a yellow sun to the left of the graph.

Another banger of a slide from Zaslav, this company is going to fold in two seconds #FireDavidZaslav #DontStreamOnMax #DontStreamOnHBOMax
screenshot from WBD's Q2 2022 Earnings call; it has a header of "streaming business model", and a circle saying "Content" pointing to an arrow rectangle blob with "Movies", "Streaming", and "TV" all in different fonts; it's a hideous mess of a slide

And it really needs to be stressed that Taika does not really use social media, and posting isn't activism.

The actor he personally recced for O-MD had been posting pro-Palestinian things this week, and the actor who replaced Guz is also vocally pro-Palestine, too.
Screenshot from TW threads account from 7/10/23 Post 1: "Oh, what's this? Threads? It feels nice here. No haters. No psychopa-- 'f**k up taika, ya loser. I hate everything you do. You ruined Hitler for everyone!" Post 2: "I give it 1 day before they find me in here lol"

I cannot street enough how funny the wbdstock subreddit is. They talk about Zas' actions with "we" and "us", are desperately confused at this development, and have been spinning conspiracy theories for months about how THEY are trying to "punish" the stock price and keep it down
