   I declined the hostile $30 offer with if accepted would’ve paid $30 per share in few weeks. Why didn’t psky simply load up on wbd when it was $7 ? Aside the bs psky hostile effort, why no discussions of those two (so far) interested interest in wbd’s global assets? That’s where the action is early ’26. Once cnbc is open for trading (early ’26) things could get interesting to who wants global assets from wbd.

   The question is, if paramount or Netflix wins. What’s next? Will Apple buy Universal after the Spin off or will they buy Lionsgate.

   The thread opens like a campfire rant: somebody finally says out loud that nobody has to kneel to Netflix. Hollywood could pick a real studio—Universal, Comcast, anyone that still believes movies belong in theaters, then on DVDs and Blu-rays, with merch on shelves instead of vanishing into an algorithm. Netflix, the story goes, only cares about itself, and whatever it touches turns to ash. Paramount sounds better for theatrical releases… except people swear its streaming app is always down. So the “best move” becomes a simple fantasy: put the whole machine back in the hands of old-school studio muscle so releases happen on a normal schedule again.
   Then the crowd starts laughing because the whole corporate fight has accidentally become the most entertaining show around. A money-slap brawl. A corporate soap opera. A prom date getting fought over. Popcorn gets passed around like this is pay-per-view.
   And as the betting begins, hope slips in through the cracks: if Paramount gets Warner Bros, maybe the classics come back. Maybe Looney Tunes finds its way home again. Maybe Superman and Popeye cartoons get reunited with old libraries. Maybe DC finally gets handled by someone who remembers how to build a universe instead of “content.”
   But the thread can’t stay hopeful for long. The trash talk arrives fast—Netflix posturing, Paramount clapping back like it’s a boxing weigh-in. People cheer just because Netflix is getting a headache. Some treat it like watching a bully get punched in the mouth for the first time in years.
   Under the jokes, the bitterness sits heavy: the only ones really losing are the viewers. Whoever wins, we pay. If Netflix wins, people fear theaters and physical media get buried for good and Warner’s IPs get locked behind one platform, setting the worst precedent imaginable. If Paramount wins, maybe physical media survives a while longer—maybe Hollywood limps forward for a few more years—but nobody trusts any of these giants to respect the audience.
   Then the conversation widens into the ugly stuff: journalism, propaganda, hypocrisy. When censorship hits them, it’s tyranny; when it hits you, it’s “justice.” Reporters get called out for preaching about “hoarding power” while raging that the public stopped buying what they’re selling. Someone brings up old segments and “puff pieces” and basically says: you can tell exactly who you’re dealing with by what they cheer for when the cameras are on.
   From there, it turns into a courtroom drama. People start talking fiduciary duty—how boards can’t just pick what they like, they have to take the highest offer or risk shareholder lawsuits. Others throw up their hands and say the whole thing should be blocked, period. Bring back anti-trust. Stop the mega-mergers. Stop letting the same handful of corporations swallow everything.
   Meanwhile the rumor mill runs hot: somebody knows somebody who works at Warner, just waiting to see if they’re about to lose their job and flee California. Someone predicts the real winner is Pirate Bay. Someone else says the real “solution” is splitting Warner in half and tossing pieces to both sides like a custody battle.
   The thread keeps spiraling: concerns about financing, about rich backers, about DOJ and antitrust red flags, about merging everything into one glitchy app that crawls like sludge. People start arguing details—cable vs network ownership, what can be legally owned together, what’s being misreported, what’s misunderstood.
   And scattered between the hard talk are the tiny human motives that make it all feel real: one person doesn’t even care anymore. Another just wants uncensored classic Looney Tunes. Another begs for the Snyderverse. Someone says, deadpan, that “Netflix and chill” is so 2010. Another just yells they hate Netflix like it’s a primal scream into the void.
   By the end, the thread lands on the same grim punchline over and over: it isn’t about art, it isn’t about fans, and it isn’t about entertainment getting better. It’s about power. It’s about leverage. It’s about who gets to control the vault.
   And no matter who walks away with Warner Bros… the crowd keeps repeating the same line like a curse:
   Whoever wins, we lose.
