Reply to comment by leadchipmunk in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01
In the original story when the cricket tries to warn Pinocchio he smashes it. So you know, corporations just try to stay true to the source material.

While I appreciate you expressing your principles, artists have repeatedly shown that when they pose with their art the amount of upvotes and exposure it gets is far more than just the art alone.
So while you may downvote it, the vast majority of Reddit only upvote it when they also see the artist.
