I don’t think we’re going to see the destruction of the entertainment industry. The implosion of Hollywood, the music industry, and publishing? Sure. They’re not the entertainment industry, though, they’re just The Old Way of Doing Things. The way that used funding as the gatekeeper to make sure only the right people—the people with money—made entertainment.
Smaller, leaner, more nimble creative organisms will arise out of their remains. Ones that can spin up, generate a show or two, then break apart with their constituent talents scattering to germinate a dozen new endeavors. A cross between startup culture and indie / self pub. How cyberpunk can you get?
Full on destruction? No. But it has been happening for years. In 2012 we were in a packed theater after getting $7 tickets to see The Avengers. Sold out. Crap movies now are a ghost town, nobody is consuming the tripe, popcorn is $15 for a medium bucket and a bottle of water is five bucks.
Add to that the ability to visualize and create something you love? Game changer.
If I never see the eggnog bath again, it will be too soon. Just as I lead Team Homemade Hot Air Balloon, I dedicate to giving the antinog movement a strong backbone as well. Not to make Noggers the enemy, but to keep an open and healthy dialogue.
Why? Because even though a drink that requires whiskey to be even close to palatable may divide us, we are bound in the hatred of arrogant movie producers and bombastic gatekeepers. I may not die side by side with a nogger submariner, but I will make my last stand beside a friend in the war against bad entertainment.
Ride on brother, to Death and Glory. I will stand beside you the whole way, even when you're taste buds are wrong.
Also, as the only one on board the janky submarine suspended from a hot air balloon, you were the last person I would have expected kink shaming from. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!
Want an example?
KPop Demon Hunters.
So popular that fans are using AI (sort of) to make more songs for it.

Inject this directly into my veins
