How are our corporate overlord supposed to know what a good story is other than the success of a movie based in them?

Ironically capitalism does not like to take much risk, nor do the large companies who are best able to take them. It also sucks that many things are switching to being ads supported, so there is further limiting of creativity. For example, Love, Death, and Robots is a really awesome animated anthology. It is something that does not try to have the broadest appeal; however, the customers are now advertisers who may not want to run ads on something with a narrower audience. Oddly it seems Netflix will be going down the path of YouTube battling that to keep the content adverts will buy space for, and YouTube trying to be independent of it with its premium. Strange world.

Love, Death + Robots is amazing and everyone should watch it.

Hell yeah, even the ones I didn't like were well done and I'm glad I watched them.
