Now that subscriber growth has slown down at most streaming services, the end of the "golden age of TV" is at hand.

Welcome to the "bean-counting age of TV," in which streaming services try to milk subscribers for as much as possible without pissing them off too much.

Going forward, I'm expecting cheaper content, greater restrictions, higher prices, a proliferation of tiered subscription plans, and pervasive advertisement.

Completely predictable, and yet also very disappointing.

I think reverse will happen. We’re going to get amazing shows in the next couple years because production cost is going to be so much lower thanks to AI assistance. Then there will be a short era when phone is just instantly will generate custom video on demand for you when you raise the phone. And then societal collapse due to non-viability of current economic structures.

Either this is master satire, you communicate with the future, the timeline model you’re running coalesced into the Singularity, or all of these simultaneously.

Do you by chance have a newsletter?

It’s kinda hard to have newsletter in the age of AI-generated content. No, it’s all old school IRL.
