That's not because the kids are weird. It's because new movies mostly suck and are distributed through an inaccessible labyrinth of disconnected streaming services. Movies were killed by studios, not by the incomprehensible preferences of a new generation.
- echelon 4y agoKids are smart. Their preferences fit to the shape of the arising world better. Studios don't have to be dumb for a more optimal solution for { attention, culture, interest, sharing, signalling, popularity, fame, value, narrative, etc. } to arise. Studios being dumb did contribute, but I think that played a more subdued role. The dominating factor is that new mediums solve the core reason for Hollywood's existence better.
