Anon discovers basic capitalism and lucked into an underserved market.

Many people don’t realize that the amount of change our culture goes through in a lifetime is unfathomable historically. Before the 1800s it took a good decade for news to truly travel around to everyone in a region, and that was considered timely if it happened at all. Farming, hunting, homemaking, war, stayed exactly the same for dozens of years at a time and changes were usually made abruptly due to conflict before stagnating again.

The entire industry needs to change, and Hollywood has the capability to do it. Children’s movies and adult children sequels/remakes are the only thing making money so the whole business has consolidated around them.

Meanwhile they keep pumping out uninspired “originals” trying to fit the old model such as selling it on the actor or the special effects and blaming the consumers for killing the industry. So instead of a transition into a more modern system such as appealing to more niche audiences with a lower budget (that they can still make a profit on because of the expansion of the market) were going to see an implosion and have to start again from scratch.
