The Superiority Of Piracy I think Indi hits the nail on the head here. The evolution of internet video has just been a big dance to reinvent cable. Minor counterpoint being Internet video platform (Youtube, TikTok, Reels, etc.) which are genuinely a new thing . Apart from Youtube none of these platforms give creators a good revenue share to live.
And the overarching point about creating a new model based on sharing and torrents stands strong. The existing media industry largely co-opted the new technology. The dust never really settles and maybe we’ll genuinely have shared media in the future. 🏴☠️
