I haven’t paid for movies in about 6 years now. Literally nothing of interest. I have basically banned all forms of corpo media as a result of their lazyness and garbage. I’m doing my part
Honestly you’re doing more good than harm. The content they put out lately (they make people pay and STILL make them watch ads!) isn’t good enough to deserve our money. The way that they fragmented the content into walled gardens, again, deserves to have us vote with our wallets until they can offer something less rent-seeking.
When streaming began, I was screaming from the rooftops that we should take the failure of the music industry as a cautionary tale against streaming services. My solution was a decentralized streaming platform that charges users a monthly fee and pays content creators fairly by dividing total viewing time per month.
Since those greedy assholes couldn’t be bothered to listen and have instead moved to the subscription model, competing with massive warchests of licensed-content rather than making any new content, I say fuck em. Pirate it if you will. Netflix and the 500 other walled-gardens have fragmented their own content into irrelevancy.
I say we let the content compete on the open market instead of forcing users to make allegiances with a handful of gatekeepers.
Not a single production is working right now. Ask me how I know. I worked on a few Netflix productions in the past year or two. One will be released soon.
What Netflix et all are shooting right now is MAYBE like 6 productions across the entirety of the world. They were ALL waiting for the new contracts before they greenlit projects. It has been like that for a few years now.
It used to be that LA and NYC would be working non stop. No one is working right now.

I don’t think you really grasped his point.
Probably not, I’m pretty stupid at times

Ummm… Netflix is producing massive quantities of new content.
It might not all be good, it might be repetitive or you might not like it, but it’s a lot.
