But they’re the loudest .3% of the market!!! In all seriousness this is the stupidity of equity, when half of all your shit is completely unwatchable to 80% of the consumer base you have to pray that the 80% won’t catch on to the 20% getting half of all new content. I’m being generous with 20% too.
Streaming services enabled this behavior. The massive unpopularity of woke entertainment is obscured by the socialism of monthly subscriptions. Instead of watching syndicated tv for free, people pay $15 a month to stream their favorite old programs. The steaming services take that money and hand it to work creators who make content no one watches. Rinse, repeat.
I agree. It’s crazy why someone hasn’t told this group that it’s isn’t popular on mass scales. I’ve said before that lgbt needs to make their own channel or streaming service
This reminds me, I was going to create a topic about this, don't have time right now to go find the story...
A couple months ago Barns and Noble announced they were dropping hardcover books from debut authors, because they don't sell. This was immediately attacked as a direct attack on black/gay/female/zirs authors... indirectly confirming the "fictional conspiracy theory" that straight white men can't get book deals anymore.
There was another article that came out shortly after confirming that most trad published books sell barely a handful of copies. The whole market is essentially smoke and mirrors at this point.
That's where the growth is. Trad publishing is mining the refuse of ailing wrecks like Patterson and King. I've had friends who tried to publish certain subgenres like Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance and get told straight up by editors that "those are indie-dominated markets and we can't compete with them." Which is unreal if you think about it.
Basically its the final stage of disruption; the entrenched firms are retreating upmarket while the innovators consume them from below.
Who cares about underrepresented voices of people don’t want to watch? It’s a business. Pushing identity politics over good storytelling is a recipe for disaster
That's what happens when your "representation" isn't profitable.

The 2010s will be known as the era of the toxic creator. Never seen so many creative people attacking their own fans.

If you talk to them again, tell them Hand_Of_Node would like to see them sold to the moslems for sport. Being allowed to live is not an option.

So it's all e-books now huh?
Honestly... I don't think it's even that.
Literature is a disappearing medium.

The sheer fucking entitlement to believe it's somehow your right to have someone else's business.

"Where's our heckin buttsex cartoon?? This man needs to be jailed for life!!"
"Fuck you, our assigned age doesn't matter! We all identify as 12!"
So once High Butt Wind gets the dicks out of his ass and mouth he thinks he'll kill a stranger he hates.
He ought to give it a go to see what happens.
Get...
Oh look, a gimmick account (out of context Simpsons) unmasking itself as being politically leftist!
A disconnected neck can't be reeled in..
