“What are these movies?” the Hollywood producer asked me. “Are they successful movies? Are they not? They have famous people in them. They get put out by major studios. And yet because we don’t have any reliable numbers from the streamers, we actually don’t know how many people have watched them. So what are they? If no one knows about them, if no one saw them, are they just something that people who are in them can talk about in meetings to get other jobs? Are we all just trying to keep the ball rolling so we’re just getting paid and having jobs, but no one’s really watching any of this stuff? When does the bubble burst? No one has any fucking clue.”
Perfect, real life example of how we need Universal Income so that people take care of themselves at home instead of having meaningless, truly not bringing anything to the world jobs.
Look at it this way: people get into debt to obtain a degree in a film school, move to Los Angeles to displace people who have been living here for 40 years, to work on movies and shows that no one gives a single fuck about, not even the people who should. And then get let go.
It’s beyond meaningless.
