[–] HobbitFoot 1 point 2 years ago (4 children) For their old stuff, sure. But I'm thinking of new movies and TV shows. What kinds of movies can be made a decade from now? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (3 children) That model may also be dead. Nobody really sees movies anymore, not like before, and nobody wants to wait 6 months for the season to end. That’s very much a 1950s - 2010 model. Not sure what will replace it, but some combination of games and informal content like YouTube/TikTok etc might be where we end up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] HobbitFoot 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Yeah, and that is what I'm concerned about.

Being serious, however, who can predict? We’ll have to be patient and see what happens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] HobbitFoot 2 points 2 years ago I'm not judging Gen Alpha, I'm judging the world we are creating for them to grow up in. permalink fedilink source parent
