I saw a few. But I specifically saw this one.
And people aren't watching at home. They're watching their phone. They're watching their kids. They getting up to grab snacks. They're taking a call, theyre taking a shit.
Don't get me wrong I'm as guilty of this as anybody. The problem and the enshitification isn't because of the delivery system itself. It's because the studios understand that you got stuff going on. You're distracted.
So the content they produce is catered to that. Nothing too complex nothing too visually demanding. Show and Tell replaces show don't tell. They'll still make an award season movie here and there, but the general trend will be making background noise not films.
