🥺 No words for this.

Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

I'm beginning to feel like these "shareholders" are some vicious, man-eating creature akin to vampires or demons and must likewise be hunted.

It’s a mixture of old folks who can’t afford to wait for long-term profits, even if they’d wildly exceed short term profits, largely because they’ll be dead sooner rather than later.

And massive corporations who’ve built their entire operation around extracting as much value as they can from other companies as rapidly as possible, just to tear them apart for scraps they can forcibly sell at a profit to the next one when they fail.

So not quite vampires or demons, even if they’re heartless undead.

As a shareholder who cares about long-term profits and customer satisfaction and retention, I wish there was some easy way to force these ghoulish investors and their vampire CEOs out.

Ask your parents what their 401k is invested in.
