When streaming began, I was screaming from the rooftops that we should take the failure of the music industry as a cautionary tale against streaming services. My solution was a decentralized streaming platform that charges users a monthly fee and pays content creators fairly by dividing total viewing time per month.
Since those greedy assholes couldn’t be bothered to listen and have instead moved to the subscription model, competing with massive warchests of licensed-content rather than making any new content, I say fuck em. Pirate it if you will. Netflix and the 500 other walled-gardens have fragmented their own content into irrelevancy.
I say we let the content compete on the open market instead of forcing users to make allegiances with a handful of gatekeepers.
Ummm... Netflix is producing massive quantities of new content.
It might not all be good, it might be repetitive or you might not like it, but it's a lot.
Not a single production is working right now. Ask me how I know. I worked on a few Netflix productions in the past year or two. One will be released soon.
What Netflix et all are shooting right now is MAYBE like 6 productions across the entirety of the world. They were ALL waiting for the new contracts before they greenlit projects. It has been like that for a few years now.
It used to be that LA and NYC would be working non stop. No one is working right now.
