A very juicy essay, vastly on point.
Thanks. I had missed the article. It is on point.
The one thing I would add, with regard to the Emmys, is that the awards are dominated by the larger streamers simply because higher viewership means more voters have actually seen them.
Back in Ye Olden Days of linear tv, all viewers had to do was turn the dial to watch any show that was being broadcast by any network. Good shows could find their audience.
Today, the streaming environment has siloed the viewers, and movies and shows on smaller platforms are kneecapped. Here and there, something might break through, but such cases are occasional exceptions and are rare.
Most viewers will never see many of the best movies and shows on offer. In fact, since advertising is also highly segmented, many viewers will never even hear of the best stuff out there.
Just one more way the streaming disease is destroying the ecosystem that used to provide competition and incentivize good shows.
