Disney Is a Tech Company?

Maybe it was Disney's own understanding of its place in the world order. Disney wasn't a tech company like Netflix, nor was it a distributor also like Netflix. Early on, Disney did partner with other big media companies to build a Hulu, but it mostly existed to make next-day reruns of broadcast shows available online. You originally didn't even need a paid subscription to watch.
