Film and TV aren't the entire entertainment industry, it might actually be fine or even good if that part of the industry collapsed.
People might go to more community theatre, or there might be a rapid proliferation of independent media.
I too believe that the ornithopter should replace the passenger jet.
That’s a funny way to spell zeppelin.
Well for 0 mana it's an easy sell
I know anecdote is not the plural of data. But I and my immediate family are largely out of the reach of a lot of the traditional providers and their ads. We don't watch local or network television outside of news and weather broadcast anymore. And we don't have cable. Honestly, when it comes to what movies, et cetera, are currently in theaters, I get more information from the fediverse than I do from traditional sources. We now watch far more small independent creators on YouTube and even peertube now.
The tools are absolutely there. It's possible for someone sitting in their bedroom to produce content, rivaling or surpassing some major studios in many instances. But while the tools are there now, the other pillars are still a bit lacking. With things like peertube distribution as a pillar is slowly shoring up. Supporting the material conditions of the creators is one of the areas that's lacking or lagging behind. We aren't there yet, but it's something I could see perhaps being solved in the next decade or two. So long as the internet doesn't get cordoned off and sawed up.
What kind of privileged take is this 😂
The kind that doesn't give a fuck about wealthy hollywood actors and companies?... And thinks that groups of people supporting local theatre might be better for them, in that it's a community and group event that involves seeing real people that you know in a community setting?
Do you also know how expensive that is for the average person RN? Do you know how much would it cost to hire a reliable babysitter for someone with kids? Or tickets for a whole family? Plus transportation or gas money? What if you live in a place with shit theater? Or maybe no theater at all? What if the closest theater is two hours away and it's shit? What if your country is so religious and closed off that theater is barely even allowed?
What if you barely have time for a movie, let alone for the trip back and forth to a theater because you're overworked to death and tired all the time?
What if you're disabled and mobility is an issue?
Do you live on Earth with the rest of us? Or in your idealistic theory where your version of reality is the only one?
I just reported and moved on, TBH. I hope you're getting the help you clearly need.
What about all the working class folks who work in film? Not everyone on that movie set or working in that theater are ultra wealthy and in fact most are not.
You don't just not give a fuck about the elites of Hollywood. You seem to not be thinking of the working class folks there either.
This is the same argument of trickle down economics. These people will find work elsewhere.
How is it the same as supply side economics?
Oh yeah, I just heard how great the job market is. Only 32,000 jobs lost last month.
So your answer to this is to perpetuate a propaganda machine that normalizes a few chosen having it all because the people who get scraps will not have the scraps anymore? I'm fairly certain the overwhelming majority of hollywood workers will find other jobs, the actors though... Highly doubt it.
No. My answer to this(your statement) is that the job market sucks and people are really struggling to make ends meet in today's economy.
