    Yeah but it’s still corporate pandering and drowning your brain in bullshit. ‘did you see the latest show that rich people decided we should be brainwashed with, it contains all the talking points they think will help society to continue to benefit them’

    I much prefer stuff that’s free because it’s made by people who want to make it, I’ll even put a few coins in their patreon if I really like it.

      Yes and no, I understand what your saying but there is paid media that’s has been born through passion and not a board room of ceos and marketers, share holders.

      But I have less trust, especially series as they tend to start from passion then hijacked by corporate

        Oh there is but it’s sorted through rich people filters, if a hundred show ideas contain important and useful thoughts about our current society and one show Idea boils down to ‘capitalism is good actually’ then we already know which one will get made without any other information

        I don’t mind watching a ‘capitalism is good’ show occasionally if it’s risen to the top because it makes important and informative statements but i can’t abide a landscape where other opinions don’t have that same ability.
