    Capitalism. It corrupts everything eventually.

    Sure, I’ll concede that in the beginning you get innovation but we’re not in that place now. They actively stifle it. Look at Hollywood, you don’t see mid budget movies anymore and nobody wants to take a risk on a creative endeavour if they can make X-Men 66.

      You just have to look in the right place. The mid budget film became high-end TV shows on streaming services, which are allowed to innovate and experiment like crazy.

          Or worse, the creator is promised multiple seasons and writes accordingly, but the show is cancelled and you’re left with an unfinished product.

            For this reason I have completely stopped watching a thing new. I’m sure I’m missing a lot of great shows ut I’m just sick of a great show ending on cliffhanger thT will never get resolved

      Dune part 2 just came out and is a highly creative endeavor.

      Edit: If you all don’t think that the version of the Dune world these movies created isn’t immensely creative and unique then you are stuck up snob. Especially part 2.

        What’s creative about it? The silly walk they invented? The ‘fuck tonality’ music they came up with? Shiny blue eyes? Sand?

          Sand?

          I think that’s it. And a bucket, too

      Agree. The other problem is people keep giving them their money. Damn I just saw X-Men 66, it kinda sucked, hopefully they do better with X-Men 67.

      What happens is Innovation at the start focuses on making the product better but at some point the focus changes to make more money and that’s how we get there

      I feel it’s logical, there is a break point where quality can’t be reasonably increased to turn profit and that’s when you get everything shitty with capitalism

        My ignorant take is that if we could somehow do away with shareholders and also put a cap on how much money an individual can earn, we might be able to have companies that stay good. I dunno tho.

          I’m very ignorant too but from what I see

          There are measures in place to tax the rich and try to regulate from some countries but the oligarchy has grown too strong there is no way to take down Google or Amazon for example

          We will have to slowly take down huge empires before adding any effective regulation it will take decades and it will probably need to be group effort

            Governments, like the EU, have shown regulations can be made such as with the Digital Markets Act.

            … But that requires a willing and informed government body.
