We’re in a post consumer economy where the big companies don’t really care what their customers want and creative projects are run by boardrooms and green flagged based on how similar they seem to other projects that have been profitable in the past rather than creativity or innovation.

At least movies are sort of still aimed at consumers unlike tech companies which seem to be mainly creating products to collect and sell consumer data or sell ads rather than serve a useful purpose to users.

Or the hardware side of tech just abandoning the consumer market entirely to sell to AI companies. You want RAM? Fuck you, go rent some from Nvidia

I can't remember the last new thing I saw that wasn't basically "thing that already existed but with ads now."
