The real problem here is that consumers don't want culture. The emoji movie made over $200mm at the box office while having a budget one quarter of that. Survivor got so many seasons because it did well with viewers. Studios don't care if they have to put out crap as long as it makes them money.
If Amazon prime becomes a household good, meaning it sees wide adoption by a large viewing segment which doesn't care about seeing high quality content, that puts Amazon in a great position to churn out bad shows with popular appeal.
- sievebrain 8y agoEmoji movie is culture, whether we like it or not. There's no rule that culture has to be highbrow.
- opportune 8y agoOh I agree, it's just that in this context it seemed the parent implicitly meant high-brow culture when saying "get culture."
