Yeah. No one goes to the theater anymore and the industry is converging around 200 walled gardens that don’t share content and serve ads to make up for the lost revenue from ticket sales…a race to the bottom and all they had to do was pool their resources and they’d make tons of money on content. Instead, egos caused them to fragment their revenue streams like all the stupid music streaming services did, shooting themselves in the foot.

I saw it coming from miles away and was outspoken. Still, it’s too late. I’m switching to a better source of income once the tech sector realizes that they actually need humans even in the age of AI.

Well I wish you the best of luck with your next job.

Thanks! I’ll need it!

…If only there were some other system where I didn’t have to monetize my interests. Oh well. I’m sure capitalism is the best way. /s
