    I disagree.

    Fuck this data driven bullshit. We need to return to a time where executives with a vision are empowered. We need to have decisions made by the kind of people who say things like “I know only 10% of people watch Mindhunters but that’s the kind of show that brings people to our service”.

    If things stay the way they are get used to watching 7-8 seasons of mediocre lowest common denominator bullshit and having your favorite shows cancelled after one or two seasons.

      I can’t disagree with you, but the current executives and how they function can easily be replaced by current ai models. Would be nice to get innovation back, but all the competition is gone now.

        Absolutely. I’m not advocating keeping the current dipshits that cancel shows that would have been kept around as “prestige shows” a couple decades ago. I just don’t want to see it get even worse by going harder on numbers alone.

      • There is still some completion. I particularly enjoy a lot of movies from A24. Although, they’re now worth a lot of money so will be interesting to see if they start to churn out garbage or keep making things that are different.

          I meant competition in general, not just for movies. There’s basically 3 companies that own everything, and they collude rather than compete.
