Date: July 18th, 2026 1:01 AM Author: frisky vigorous fortuitous meteor High drive, low skill. That's what this country rewards. Stupid people with incredible discipline. That's how you end up in a culture where Beast Games is the biggest show in world history and no one has made a good movie since 1977. You used to have to be clever and hard working. You used to have to be really ingenious to dazzle. Now people will eat up anything as long as there's a lot of it. Quantity has kicked the shit out of quality.

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:14 AM Author: frisky vigorous fortuitous meteor You are right over the bombsight, friend. This is exactly why proles love shit like Costco. Or why the Queen of Versailles lady thought being rich meant you can buy anything in a Wal-Mart. This is prole mentality. More is always good, more is better. We can't maximize profits if we don't have thousands of hours of content to pitch you in aggregate. Everything is about volume, not unique individual experiences. In an article on the recent book on Spotifycore slop music they interview Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never. The article ends with a quote that maybe the best song he's ever heard was something he only wanted to hear once. You can't monetize e.g. Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. It could be the greatest thing ever made but most people would only want to sit through it a couple of times. But you can make a never-ending playlist of Spotifycore ambient slop that will play on a loop at the doctor's office and in shopping malls. That there's money in. There's no money in real genius. It's like The Transported Man. The trick is so good that no one realizes how good it is. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50007826) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:41 AM Author: frisky vigorous fortuitous meteor I think part of the problem with streaming is that it is inherently geared towards slop. So the type of people looking for a different experience just avoid it entirely. And the type of consumer who will watch slop all day is already there, so they just cater to those people. There's no economic incentive to make a masterpiece. The only people who can do it are people like Nolan who have the talent and cachet to do big spectacle well. But it's sort of only one flavor of what's possible. A lot of the great directors of yore who put art above all else would not be able to thrive in this economy. You couldn't make 2001 A Space Odyssey today because it just wouldn't make enough money to be viable. This is why all the indie stuff is ultra low budget and the actors admit they only make these for the fun of it. A lot of indie directors use their own money and are broke even when they make big hits. There's no incentive to make something great when you can make stuff that's profitable. In the 20th Century there were a lot more structures in place for studios to take big risks and reap big rewards. Now it's zero risk big rewards. Any business student could tell you to take zero risk. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50007847) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 12:34 PM Author: Richard Ames Things went off the rails when we stopped needing to measure discrete output by its individual results. Eg) ratings for an episode of a TV show, DVD sales. When all that matters is subscriber count and there are effectively only three true streaming platforms (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max or whatever they call it now) and a bunch of also rans, then the content itself is less relevant and it’s more about volume of shit. And a ton of garbage has been laundered onto these platforms that could never survive if individual ratings and view counts mattered. It’s a disaster for quality.
I am more and more thankful each day for the sheer volume of novels that exist that were published before ~2008. There is effectively endless quality content if you go the book route. Even movies and TV, there are so many older ones you can watch and enjoy.
Obviously this doesn’t fix the societal problems, but I’m not sure there is a fix save for nuclear bombs going off in the atmosphere and taking electronics offline. Lmao (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008205) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:53 PM Author: frisky vigorous fortuitous meteor I'll split the difference and say you both have a point. Many people even myself rush to judgment about art before they've experienced it. I've done it many times and then the actual piece of art was different than I expected. I've been way off about what something was a million times.
At the same time I don't think there's anything wrong with dismissing something out of hand just because it offends you prima facie. I think you're entitled to just go yeah this sucks and it's not for me. But the woke politics and the trailer probably doesn't encapsulate the whole film. I'm sure there are parts of it that are great just because it's Nolan. He's pretty good at what he does. There's no way this guy would roll out a complete dud of a film. His reputation is immaculate.

I didn't watch Velma because it looks like wokeslop. If someone asked me what I thought about Velma I'd say "I didn't watch because it looks like wokeslop."

Instead in order to make it big you need to post like 10+ hours of "content" a week.

I had thought that younger creative people might just start making TV shows and uploading them to YouTube on a regular cadence (the tech makes show production possible), but unless you are constantly posting shit, you just get hidden.
Funny enough, I think someone like Mr. Beast is well positioned to actually produce/finance high quality programs and back them on YouTube. He could drive eyeballs and sponsors to quality content that would be cheap enough to produce. Of course, this would require him to be a radically different person so it isn't going to happen.

I think Joe Rogan pointed out on their recent interview that Jimmy's success comes from the monofocus. He is the GOAT at one niche thing. If he expanded it probably wouldn't be as good. And it's so insanely successful why mess with the formula. He's mad young too. He can always retire later in life and become an executive.

Date: July 18th, 2026 3:17 PM Author: Richard Ames Yes. A network / executive production house in the vein of Blumhouse or A24 with low cost TV series style productions from young creatives. Doesn’t need to cost much and Mr. Beast could guarantee enough eyeballs on the shows.
The biggest issue would be quality, but this could be relatively controlled for IMO and would have substantial upside while also avoiding all the DEI faggot crap that infests “Netflix Originals” and so forth.
If nothing else, it could serve as a farm system of sorts for bigger streaming platforms.
There is a musician named Sombr who has gotten fairly big. And he basically would crowdsource responses to various sounds and melodies he was working on and then made songs with those which got the best response. So there is some precedent to this sort of approach for media.
Someone like Beast with massive reach could have a handful of pilots put out and then finance the ones that resonate the most with audiences. And subsequently sell advertising against the successes.
I was at the gym earlier and say a TV playing “Pickpeball TV.” With some Major League Pickleball (lmao) match on and DoorDash as an on screen sponsor. How many people are possibly ever watching this? 1,500? How many are by choice? 15?
If there is money in that, there are ways to generate funds for good creative output if someone is willing to funnel eyeballs to it in an effective way.
And I don’t think pilots need to cost that much. Remember that old Mortal Kombat “trailer” from like 2006? It got tons of traction on YouTube and the guy who made it parlayed it into meaningful work in Hollywood.

B) Jimmy has never done anything scripted AFAIK. Isn't he a kind of freak who loves reality? He was saying 12,000 cameras or something. He's all about capturing GRITTY REALISM. I doubt he's got a Tarantino screenplay in him or could even evaluate one. You don't need to read or write to do his show. It's mostly production logistics and finding zany cast members willing to debase themselves. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008532) |

But he's got epic audience capture plus his vids are blasted to every account in the world. And when you're a peak SLOP GOD maybe you just have it like that. He creates the 22 most desirable minutes in all of television. Bringeth forth the slop. Goyim cometh to the trough. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008442) |

Like David Fincher went from 3 minute music videos with super fast cuts to film and long form episodic TV programming (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008453) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 2:18 PM Author: frisky vigorous fortuitous meteor This is a very good point. I feel like if someone made Led Zeppelin IV today it would get 20,000 views and then the world would move on. But some guy making vertical TikToks singing badly about a political theme would skyrocket to fame. The algorithm doesn't account for quality. It accounts for what keeps you on the platform endlessly. If a million people watch something once it's not as good as 1000 people scrolling 1000 videos. This goes to the subscription model where you just reward the creators who keep people on the platform the longest. It's about what makes the company happy, not what rewards the consumer. If you drop a whole album in one go no one will ever listen to it. But if you divide it into 15 singles and you spam promote a dozen lip sync videos per day one has a chance of going viral. As long as chicks in bikinis can dance to it. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008386) |

The one where you had to stay inside a circle, another where you had to live in a supermarket. If this guy was around when I was 12 I would have loved him. Of all the slop being served to kids on the Internet you could do much worse than Mr. Beast. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008540) |
