There is nothing easy or cheap about creating a TV show. Self-publishing is basically impossible for a high quality show.

There is nothing easy or cheap about creating a TV show. Self-publishing is basically impossible for a high quality show.
- Evenjos 6y agoIt's not impossible. The problem is a lack of incentives. Amazon offers 70% royalties to indie authors. YouTube offers peanuts to indie film makers. Netflix offers nothing. Film-making is more expensive than novel writing, and there is a higher barrier to entry. Few indie film-makers are going to stick with it, unpaid, for multiple years. If they can receive funding, then that whole paradigm will change. Patreon made a few steps in that direction, but I think crowd-funding has limits. If Google/YouTube were to do what Amazon did, and offer a huge royalty share of profits...? That would turn everything around.
