I think you're making up a narrative in your head to support your bias against Disney here.
TASM 1 was definitely well received when it was released. It was tarnished by the slop that was TASM 2, which lead to Sony being able to come to a licensing agreement with Marvel Studios, to use Spider-Man in the MCU. I think it's an extreme stretch to think Disney had any nefarious doings in the public opinion of those movies, Sony did that to themselves and has proven time-and-time again they cannot make a good quality movie with their Spider-Man IPs.
The Rise of Skywalker is at 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, that was universally acknowledged to be terrible, even by the "critics". Disney definitely was also not able to silence or drown-out the absolute outrage by the cast and fans of the treatment of Luke in The Last Jedi.
Why would Marvel / Disney spend any effort sabotaging the DCEU when Warner Bros. was good at doing it all themselves? If Marvel was worried about DC stealing their audience, they would have focused more on movies like The Batman, not some c-grade antihero most people have no idea about? The Rock fostered a lot of the ill-will towards that movie himself.
I say all this but I also think it's accurate still to say reviews are trustworthy but I don't think they ever have been. I don't think this is some new phenomenon, just people are more aware of the corruption embedded in the system.
And then what, be out out of a job because you were insubordinate? If you have the personal wealth and security to lose your job and possibly not have a new opportunity for the next year or so, then that's great. Not everyone has that security, and a roof over their head just may be more important than personal convictions about how to treat users.
This seems risky, I'm not a lawyer but BCC company emails to personal account seems like a nice way to pave a highway for the company's legal team to request court ordered access to your personal affairs.
My average 2FA experience when setting it up for the companies I consult for is.
Enter credentials -> receive push notification and press "yes" -> login.
They wrote #2 to be purposefully long and convoluted. "Copy/paste code" is somehow 5 steps, with a waiting period? We really needed to detail out "switch app" as 2 steps? Come on.
As another example:
If you were to give directions to someone on how to get to your house, do you say: "Turn right at XYZ street, follow that up to ABC street and take a left, last house on the right"
Or do you say
"When you are 50ft from XYZ street, press on the brake pedal. When you get to the corner, turn the steering wheel to the right, hand over hand, then get the car straight again, press your accelerator, approach the speed limit, check mirrors every 20 seconds [...]".
Both are true. One is unnecessarily detailed to make it seem more complicated than it is.
This trope that kids are more vulnerable to the influence of social media is dangerous. Media literacy, social media literacy, and internet literacy are critical for all ages, as without it you could be 10 or 40 and be equally influenced by some "influencer" you watch daily videos from. There are plenty of adults who react just as equally as a child would. Age does not guarantee maturity or competency.
It's getting even dumber because these studio curated streaming services don't even have their entire library available on their dedicated service. Want to watch 2007 Transformers in the US? Well too bad, no one is actively streaming that one. Want to watch Transformers 2? Better have Max! Super frustrating as a customer.
IANAL but this can be risky in the US still because if you're not careful and demonstrate a clear separation of your business funds and your personal funds it can let those pursuing you for money owed to pierce the veil, thus losing a huge benefit of the LLC.
