God forbid they take a risk on a story they like that isn’t already a best seller

    Well, that’s the thing. It’s not like writers don’t have original ideas; i’m certain they have plenty of them. It’s just that the producers are too terrified to take a risk on an original idea (that they have to pay for).

    But, apparently, they’re not too afraid to steal original ideas from the Internet. Fucking chickenshit motherfuckers…

    Of course, it’s all about the fucking money

    It also doesn't help that >90% of content is crap, no matter the medium. It's a risky investment.

    That being said, the way to handle those odds is to make a lot of smaller bets and listen to feedback. Once you average everything out, you can get good returns on investment
