Old Industry Elite Complain about Industry Changes (again)
It’s been clear since for a while that TV’s evolution from linear to digital was not going smoothly. Since February, @LaneBrown and I have been digging into the story of how it all went awry, why those who make TV are so angry, and what comes next. https://t.co/VCguQwO6n6

I know ONTD doesn't read, but here's some highlights:
- “This is the single worst time to be making anything in the history of the medium. It’s just as dark as it’s ever been.”
- “These companies took what was an extraordinarily successful economic model and they destroyed it in favor of a model that may or may not work - but almost certainly won’t work as well as the old model.”
- “We’ve invited all these fancy artists into the medium, and they look at it like art, not a job.”
- “People are getting fucked. By the way, there’s a real social-progressive way to look at that, which nobody talks about, which is that the people who’ve gotten pushed out of the Hollywood economy generally are older white men. Because now they’re competing with younger people and women and people of color that they never had to compete with before. And it hurts.”
