I've been hearing rumors that Cartoon Network may actually no longer exist by next year

And a lot of its animation projects and shows will be canceled and removed online. The reason? Cartoon Network is in debt, and to climb out of the hole, they screw over SO much of what they are or were.

SO FUCK YOU DISCOVERY+ AND OTHER CEOS. FUCK YOU.

called the other day and said that many, many shows are being cancelled due to merging of
some of the giant companies. Can't remember which ones, but the giants have decided to
cancel animations and produce more "reality" shows, you know like "The Bachelor" kinda
crap.

Which is what's important to me.

The global anime market size was valued at USD 24.80 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% over the forecast period. The growing popularity and the rising sales of Japanese anime content worldwide are anticipated to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. As such, foreign sales are expected to contribute to substantial revenue generation in the market.
