fuck.. you have an agenda, i get it. i am not attacking you. i pay for films and art and music and other real stuff. i made a simple observation about the power dynamics of media sales. the fact that content producers are not noticing they are being fucked sideways by the distribution companies, killing their art to maintain their profits, while the ground is being pulled out from under them by the public. the market is collapsing and they are attacking their customers.
"This is a bit rich"
but it is still not what i am saying. its amoral, not moral/immoral!
"The need to and the costs of production.."
but that is the thing, if there is no market for it then you can't do shit. if the market is not willing to pay for the costs of production, you push the cost of production down, find another way to push costs up, or you just starve. this is not me telling you this. this is just how it is for everyone.
"In economics there is supply and demand.."
fair enough, i see we are saying the same thing here. tbh i just read your sentence as gibberish to impress how much you knew about economics. i understand the meaning if not the terminology, no need to be an arse.
"Well, now you know how I feel.."
to be fair, i knew how you felt. i was just trying to disabuse you of the notion that there is anything fair about work and pay. it is power pure and simple. that is, in fact, why some people get the 10x income, and some do the 1x work.
"In what sense do you consider yourself a producer?"
i am sorry, but i cannot help but read that as being a bit fucking condescending. so finding it difficult, but giving you the benefit of doubt, perhaps you are asking if i am a big p Producer? no. i am a designer. 1 x work for slightly less than 1x pay.. as it happens.
- anigbrowl 12y agothe fact that content producers are not noticing they are being fucked sideways by the distribution companies, killing their art to maintain their profits But the thing is, they're not. Distributors provide a lot of liquidity and a lot of their bets don't pay off. Even the big studios only make profit margins on the order of 5-7%. Besides liquidity, the distribution process itself involves significant logistical complexity; it essentially involves doing multiple product launches on different scales almost every week of the year. "In what sense do you consider yourself a producer?" i am sorry, but i cannot help but read that as being a bit fucking condescending. It's just a straight question, because I don't understand what your relationship to the industry is, if any. I do work in film productionand post-production, usually recording sound on sets or editing and supervising other editors in post production.
