This is a short clip from the 2020 Golden Globes where host Ricky Gervais tells Hollywood the truth about themselves. He pulls no punches and you can see that most of them in attendance are not thrilled with it. Funny and truthful!
Many a true word is spoken in jestWhile I loved this speech, for many reasons, I think this thread will go political in a few more posts...so, I’m going to leave it open for now, and hope I’m wrong...
Not to mention money and power … Unreal to see the tons of cash flowing through these companies …A point he made that agree with is that we will see the centralized media becoming much less centralized. Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and others all have enough resources to produce high quality media and we are seeing a return to more highly skilled writing and acting.

The trouble is that as things have gotten “decentralized “ the actual cost of content has gotten much more expensive.
my best friend subscribes to no less than a dozen online services to get the (mostly old) TV and movies he enjoys and content that used to be free YouTube etc, plus the mandatory fastest / most reliable internet Provider in the area that balloons to about a hundred bucks a month without a good “alternative“ option.
Cord cutters are somewhat screwed considering normal. OTA TV is loosing content every year but it’s being replaced by content sources that cost about as much as basic cable used to be.
This false sense of choice is coming at a high price and you still get mandatory advertising and stuck in an ever changing set of providers needing to move subscription to subscription to keep the content you want.
Sad state of affairs having traded OK OTA TV and moderately OK $19.99 basic cable for a multitude of paid streaming services.
I really don’t see how the cord got cut if it costs more.
(Assuming you don’t get into the Gray area of stream searching and FTA satellite)
For $19.99 you must get the three main networks plus PBS?
I haven’t seen a price like that in years. Here it’s like $60-70 a month for simple basic.
