At this rate there will only be two media companies in America next year, and then one the year after.Thankfully a lot of people have a movie making machine in their pockets (cell phone). Content will eventually be produced by the masses, competing against the behemoth media companies. Barring that, local community theatre productions. Maybe get a cheap CD player or two and put it in the back closet and then start collecting CD's again. There is more stuff in media history to consume than there is new stuff being produced. A lot of it is better.

Introducing, a brand new Batman series, where Bruce joins the army and-CANCELED. But wait, here's the first in a 8 part miniseries about the Gangsters from Space Jam, who-CANCELED. We know these are trying times, so we decided to reimagine the world of-AND CANCELED. Didn't even need to tell you what the reboot was, it was just canceled _on sight_.

I think they just put the main segment on yt, unless they changed that recently

Put on in a theatre owned by Ticketmaster.

Let's say that Trump doesn't manage to cancel or subvert the next couple of sets of elections and that in 2029 the US has a democratic president and a democratic congress. Let's also imagine that the next president cares about monopolies and puts Lina Khan back in charge. I wonder if there's anything that they can do about decisions made by Trump's FTC. Or is Netflho just now legally in place and we're stuck with them unless the FTC can prove they're abusing their monopoly?

Better not Paramount. You should see what they did to the Halo show. Quite hard to fuck that world up as there is so much possibilities. Instead they went for reskinned halo-aesthetic generic sci-fi action show.I've never seen it, but I read enough about it to dissuade me from even starting. Very disappointing. But my point was less about which media companies are preferable and more that american companies are racing to consolidate during this period of pro-big business government. It's more blatant under Trump but it's been going on for a while.

Be positive! Anything is possible. The people will rise up once again! The underground is now more powerful than the mainstream due to the "societal" shift into absurdity. Blood is more powerful than a token representing dubious value.Normally when the people rise up they're slaughtered. When rich countries go through major changes normally there's a lot of chaos and blood before things get better. If you're someone who lives in one of those countries it's better if you can ride the chaos out somewhere else. In fact, in a country where things are getting bad, it's generally a good idea to get out long before the chaos starts.
