Its somehow comforting that in the age of statistics and AI making a great piece of art still seems to require the effort of a single mind slaving away with all its weird idiosyncracies and obsessions. To use a Tolkien analogy- if Amazon, one of the most powerful companies in the world, were capable of just buying a great show with money that would be like the lords of Gondor just marching into Mordor and fighting their way to Mt. Doom. As we know from the story the quiet effort of small people can have a huge affect on the world.
