    For your average art, I can see that. But movies and TV shows take a lot more than just someone with a passion. You’d need some system to decide whose movie idea is worth pursuing, and you’d need a robust mechanism to get them a team to make it with. Capatalism has a lot of flaws, yes, but at least if you write a role for a specific actor, you can pay them to do it instead of just hoping they’ll like it enough to sign on.

    And yeah, we can have those systems under communism, but they don’t come automatically, so it’s not going to be instantly far better.







  • Pro tip: When you start a YouTube video and it’s seeming like this, push 3. It will skip you to 30% into the video, which is usually right around when the relevant part starts.

    Here, going by character count, it puts you halfway through the last sentence of the sponsorship, which isn’t bad, though this example is particularly eregious and doesn’t start the real instructions until you’re about 59% through.
