      Many people lost years of hard work when they're businesses went under because they literally weren't allowed to do business too. Had a friend that worked at an auto glass shop since high school for nearly ten years to gain enough funds to open up his own tire shop. All that work gone in a year, lost his shop and he's still not recovered because of that damn lockdown. Imagine owning your own business and being forced to go back to working for someone else through no failures of your own.

    The virtue signaling of celebrities back during the 2016 Presidential season was my last straw. I was already slowing growing disinterested in films and TV due to the decline in quality as everything became more derivative, but when narcissistic millionaires lecture me about politics and social issues like they are the arbiters of all that is good, true and proper I tuned them out for good. And lo and behold, since then they only got worse, movies got worse, TV got worse. As long as they continue their trend of shallow virtue signaling, I will continue to walk away with my middle finger raised high.

    I haven't given Hollywood the time of day for the past 15 years or so, not only do I not go to the theatre but I completely avoid their product on streaming services. I have been watching foreign films and dramas, kdrama primarily. It has been delightful to study other countries through their entertainment. Best of all I can forget how Hollywood has betrayed the American people.

      It's sad what they've done in entertainment. Not just with that subject, but that's what we're talking about. In a not too different alternative universe, a show or movie could be based on a gay man and be generally accepted. "Hollywood" has spent so much time shoving messages down people's throats, a resentment has been built. Eyes roll and you get the "oh, they *_made_* him gay". Without all the throat shoving, I feel like a character could just _be_ gay and be accepted by (at least more of) culture/society. Obviously there are people that will never accept, but I'm not talking about them.

    It's amazing how they make these movies where the target audience is less than 10% of the population, then act surprised that no one goes to see it. I'm an IT Project Manager and an expert in CRM (Customer Resource Management) which is just a fancy way of saying building computer systems that calculate demographics for sales and marketing campaigns. Good examples are Salesforce, Meta and Google, which use these analytics and algorithms to target advertising to people. It's as if these modern studios simply ignore all that completely and just make a product that represents whatever little bandwagon they've attached themselves to, thinking in their narcissistic infantile brains that maybe people are stupid and will watch their movie and be instantly brainwashed into believing their nonsense. It's literally the opposite of how most companies function.

    You don't need all three, but you need 2 out of three to succeed. If you manage somehow you get all three, you may indeed manage to be "great." But if you can't even manage 1, let alone 2, no one will give a shit about you.
