Sharp analysis. The framing of this as just another Hollywood deal instead of a tech platform consolidation really misses what's at stake. I worked in exhibition for a bit and saw firsthand how streaming companies view theatrical windows as obstacles rather than value-adds. The comparison to Facebook acquiring Instagram is spot-on, tho people forget how those deals get sold as partnerships before the enshitification kicks in.
Thank you for the feedback. I view this stage of smoke-up-people's-butts as early stage enshittification. I'm curious for a little bit more detail on what you saw working in exhibition from the streamers.
