>> Not too sad, though, because I feel like the exact opposite has happened with TV, where the rise of streaming services has ushered in a "Cambrian Explosion" of sorts with all types of varied topics and interesting content. I am worried that soon they will also optimize the hell out of them - platforms like Netflix have all the data: what scene makes you pause and re-watch, what makes you stop watching, God only knows what else they are measuring. It leaves me wondering to what extent those metrics overlap with the artistic side (whatever that is, but in this context I mean trying to express something genuine, not to please the audience).
