    The entire industry is folding up and pivoting to bargain basement budget content.

    Streaming has been a financial failure, so the studios are ditching all their prestige media in exchange for slop.

      It will be interesting to see what happens when the studios figure out nobody wants to pay for slop.

        So many streaming services are bundled with ISP plans and other services at this point that it may not matter.

        AT&T just handed me a Max subscription without even asking when I signed up for Internet.

        But they’ll watch it with tons of obnoxious ads. Which makes them more money anyways.

        It’s the youtube method.

      I’m here praying for a Fear Factor revival.

      All the stupid fame hungry influencers in the world forced to eat raw bull penises would be a dream come true.
