The other day I saw Netflix promoting they were streaming the WIZ (The 1970s movie With Michael Jackson FFS)... No new edit of the movie even, just a 40 year old movie that is now re-released for the 120th time, on streaming.
There is often little to no value in new media, it's just rising costs in light of no alternative options for entertainment. Any other business doing that would fail, but these companies are having a field day on re-runs and low-effort content because social media encourages everyone to be isolated indoors on the Internet 24/7 when they're not working for large companies. A lot of the independent films being released rival that of major studios now, and no one is really citing the disparity in quality amidst the rising costs of online entertainment.
I still kept most of my DVDs and a DVD player for the same very reason... I'll replay old movies if there are no new options forever and be happy if I need to. Most modern movies and shows are low-effort and rehashed ideas anyways, especially as Ai editing comes into play, the quality will decline in volumes of lazy work IMO...
The single best way we can send a firm message is by not playing into funding the corruption. Instead of gamified Wall Street investing, high yield saving accounts and gambling on my own business ideas is still risky, but potentially far more profitable and stable than the markets in this new capitalist model.
Don't play the game if the field is skewed for you to lose.
