    That’s interesting. I’m not going to lament the death of the old studios system. Sure it worked some of the time, but it was mostly bloat. Side benefit of this being, as Stewart points out, people who loved their craft got a chance to get better at it over time.

    Instead of cutting the inefficiencies, silicon valley “disrupted” the system, aka undercut existing systems at a loss for the all valuable market share. Now that they’re competing with themselves, they’re squeezing everyone involved: creatives, technicians & the audience to make their unsustainable business model magically sustainable. The illusion “tech will save us all” is failing, AI & everything-as-a-service is their last hope.

    I don’t know what the alternative is? Pandoras box is open, we can’t go back to the older system anymore.
