This is a private hospital too. They’re supposed to cater to every whim of their paying patients as they’re charging them vast sums of money. It’s very strange.

Almost as if that's not what privatisation actually delivers.

Hollywood studios are private companies, how much of their content is stuff their customers actually want?

In the real world privately owned business can be just as easily driven by the wants of individuals within them as the market. Especially when they are selling something people can't do without like healthcare, have more money than their competitors or have a near monopoly.

We're seeing this now because streaming is almost completely removed from the old revenue streams. People will pay for a service with a bunch of gay shit on it even if they aren't watching it because other stuff is on there. If you had to sell DVDs or movie tickets directly it would be a different story. As most LGBT film won't pull anywhere near the numbers that some random lowbrow comedy will.
