I think Disney is one of the few platforms that can survive the streaming bubble. The mouse has acquired an obscene number of huge IPs over the last couple of decades - Marvel, Star Wars, The Simpsons... not to mention Disney/Pixar's own output. It also helps that even without streaming they make more money than some countries.

I doubt that to be honest, I can dig up more news, but my understanding is that Disney is already struggling to be profitable, they are finding that customers are not willing to pay for their walled content and are cross licensing with other platforms things that they would have tried to keep in house previously.
Oof, I hadn't heard about any of that. I'm genuinely surprised that even Disney can't make a sustainable streaming service.
