I personally enjoy a bunch of user made content on YT etc, more than much of the industry made "entertainment".

Throw in their completely lopsided, confused, out of touch, and ignorant views, and most are easy to not bother watching.

Not necessarily. For example, Amazon, Hulu and Netflix have now had their own original programing for several years and their catalogue of original content continues to increase while their licensed content is decreasing. The legacy companies like Disney, CBS/Viacom and NBC/Universal all have plenty of their own content to support their own streaming services so they have no reason to drop them.


Right, but I think at some point they'll realize they can make bigger and better productions to out do the competition by selling their in-house shows to a broader audience, hence Roku or someone like them becoming a new cable company.

Amazon and Netflix have used their own content to increase subscriptions, but we've seen a few members here, on SimHQ, suggest to sign up for a month, watch whatever one wants, and then drop a subscription. The cable model kind of circumvents these shenanigans with subscriber fees, etc. and contracts. One doesn't get HBO or Showtime for a month on Comcast, they sign a year or multi-year subscription contract.

The alternative is to sell these shows a la carte on other services, but we see this already.

Tom Cruise is a jerk. But he wasn't wrong on this one. I seldom side with the whole "Job Creator" claim, but in this case it's true. He's out there working it, and keeping people employed in the process (regardless of whether he actually cares about that or not).

He'd be a "stand up guy" in my mind if it weren't for the Scientology crap...

the issue, see,.. these AHOLES like Tom and Bale .. and many others who abuse the crews and costars know that the 'biz' is a tough MFer to crack into... and these people love their jobs with a passion and .. its a small town, so back to the issue of these main stars abusing them... of course these people take it.. in turn brings me to the next point, THEY WILL NEVER GO OFF ON THE GENERAL PUBLIC like that because they know they could potentially get KTFO... Tom is a coward.. hell, I would PAY the guy to knuckle up and go a few rounds...
