Corporate BS · 5:09am Feb 10th, 2016

I keep seeing sites sell out so they can get more money from ads or sponsors. YouTube is forcing content creators off the site in preparation for YouTube Red where users will have to pay a subscription fee to view premium content.

Imgur is forcing users to share content only on its site and Reddit. Reddit and 4Chan have been sellouts for a while now. I honestly feel like any site that gets a significant amount of traffic these days is destined to sell out to some major corporation just so they can make a quick buck.

Pretty soon everything is going to be owned by Google. There isn't going to be free enterprise. Our two choices will be Google and oh look more Google. And maybe Apple or Microsoft if Google doesn't buy them too. But let's not forget who owns shares in Google and all of these companies; Disney.

Google: The happiest place on the internet! Oh wait.

Disney... Wow so Star wars, marvel and my childhood wasn't enough?

...I have no idea on how to respond to this now...

We can only hope for the best while at the same time preparing for the worst.

Ah corporate bullshit, my least favorite bullshit

3744742 Now I HATE Modern Disney even more than I already do :twilightangry2::flutterrage::facehoof:

3744742 Apparently they want to own everything on the internet too. :/

3744788 It's all good. It is just me venting about modern corporation nonsense. :p

3744815 Yep. I hope that a search engine/ website combination appears and competes with Google. That would be hilarious.

3744945 I'm annoyed with most modern companies to be honest. Especially those that have a relatively large web presence.

Disney owns your ass!

3745053 I wouldn't be surprised if they owned that too. :P

3745024 Most big companies suck, but Disney is one of the worst companies out there aside from Konami

3745968 I don't know much about what Konami has done lately.

3745973 Watch these videos to find out what Konami has been doing lately

3760259 Oh wow. I had no idea things like that were going on at Konami. That's crazy.

3760276 It is truly crazy. I don't see Konami surviving to see the end of this decade at this point

3760284 Well, they did it to themselves.

3761490 Konami has itself to blame for it's demise. The collapse of Konami is not a matter of if, but a matter when.

3762098 Yep. It seems like that is the case.

3762314 Hopefully another company like Nintendo or even Hasbro comes along and buys out Konami

3764033 Or maybe another video game company will buy them.

3764226 Even Sega should buy Konami out

3764228 I think Nintendo bought Sega a while ago.

3764233 I am not sure if Nintendo bought Sega or not, but Sega has been definitely been on Nintendo's life support for over 10 years. Any company would do better than Konami except for Modern Disney. It feels like Disney already bought Konami.

3766141 The only thing I don't like about modern Disney is the hundred plus sequels it has made to all of its classic films which never really needed sequels to begin with. That being said, I did enjoy all of the Lion King sequels, the Aladdin sequels, and Lilo and Stitch sequels. The Little Mermaid sequels were pretty decent as well. I just wish Disney would do more animated films and stop trying to compete with DreamWorks or something with 3D animation.

3766171 All those sequels you liked are good. I also like The Rescuers Down Under 1990. But there are some Disney sequels that are so bad that their existence taints Disney's image like The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 2 2002, Fantasia 2000, and Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens. I will never forgive Disney for cancelling Gargoyles and Sonic SATAM and killing Star Wars.

3766598 I haven't seen The Force Awakens so I don't know. But I never cared much for the prequels. The only Star Wars films that I like are the original three.

3766867 The Force Awakens directly insults the original trilogy. The movie was like it was written by someone who hated Star Wars. Please watch this video and see what I mean

Disney! The Most Successful (Evil) Empire In Human History! :rainbowlaugh:

Eventually we will have the google toilet...... :ajbemused: Where after using it, we will get laser targeted advertisements for Medicine and Restaurants based on it's analysis of our literal crap! :rainbowderp:

3767975 That was a very informative video. Thank you for the share.

3861003 I swear that we are becoming more like the book 1984 every day. Especially the part which describes how most everything is run by the government and people are always being watched by cameras. Well, just switch out the government for major corporations and you've got the current reality. Except that in 1984 the government and corporations were kind of the same thing, working under the same jurisdiction. And in that case, we've got ourselves a nice 1984 reality starting now and getting more and more like it over time. :/
