I don’t buy it. There was a discussion on a post about Netflix about how their “long tail” of niche content is getting totally blown out of the water by the likes of Ted Lasso, Severance, and pretty much any of the Mouse’s tentpole properties. Hell Netflix’s most successful shows right now are all big tentpole productions by Shonda Rimes. The problem with art and aesthetics (and many other things) (1) is that people often don’t know what they want until they see or hear it, and (2) there is a social element to it - people derive value from being part of a shared experience.
