Eventually they likely will. We're at an incredible low point in writing quality for all things television and film. Mostly due to nobody truly creative wanting to bother with the endless spin offs and corporatized sequels getting churned out ad infinitum.

Young creative types are going into YouTube and video games now. Corporate media writing jobs are going to the blandest conservative types. Not conservative in politics but in disposition, they won't do anything that truly pushes the envelope of what is acceptable, they'll simply put out the same things over and over again and mistake violence and sexual content as compelling storytelling in and of itself.

Eventually this won't make them enough money and they'll be forced out by economic forces.

I don't think they'll be forced out, more like going the EA route: buy the rights to the independant or semi-independant original creations that attact audiences, put them into the bland mold hopping that it'll correspond better for a "wider audience", shit will work at first because of brand fidelity, then it will go down the shithole, the creator will hop on something else and the big producers will start the cycle all over again.

In the end, only the fans and the original creators suffer from this, since the big producers always have the money to buy the newest trend.
