South Park

Understanding that all "valuations" any more are made up bullshit that are at least equal parts fortune telling, economics, and market manipulation: is South Park really worth $3 billion and 10 years?

It's looking hazy on whether the USA will even exist in 10 years, and to paraphrase from Dan Olsen's comments on the AVGN, "[South Park] is not a load bearing pillar of reality." I haven't watched it in years, no one I know talks about it anymore, I don't see many memes or references to it anymore.

I think their vulture capital new owners might have a point: promising any media venture support for 10 years in the current volatile economy and media landscape would be foolish.

Though in particular, all this leagalese is interfering with people's ability to even watch the show, which would damage the brand and lower it's valuation. I point back to my "market manipulation" comment above. Either way, I think they've been and are continuing to be played by the market and the vultures.

Reminds me of the Disco Elysium and Subnautica debacles that have been going on. Vultures have figured out the strategy for stealing IP from successful creators and then pushing them out. I mean they always have, but its like a solid, standard playbook that they're all following now.
