Warner Bros. Discovery has axed about 13 non-white executives as it tries to climb out of debt. It will likely affect the shows and movies that are made.

An internal graphic comparing the audiences of Discovery+ and HBO Max showed a stark demographic difference between the two streamers. Where HBO Max is popular with diverse groups, single people, and drivers of hybrid cars, Discovery+ is popular with white, married people who drive SUVs, minivans, and “traveling buses.” HBO Max viewers are on TikTok and Instagram, while Discovery+ viewers use social media platforms Facebook and Twitter, with the added caveat, “if any.” HBO Max viewers have no kids. Discovery+ viewers are either “empty nesters” or have grandchildren. Discovery may be trying to pull HBO into its orbit as it focuses on what it does best.
sounds like WBD is the first to figure out that HBO max subs don't actually pay for anything, and Discovery subs don't care about tik tok.
Probably 100% means Black Superman and all that kinda stuff is cancelled. Anything that won't be popular in Ohio won't go on.
on the other hand I do think the author of the article is pulling shit out of his ass, its just more likely WBD isn't interested in niche content that can't pay for itself anymore.
