Hollywood is dead and gone, and appears will be missing out on 2020 and 2021, and they’ve been very quiet about it. Two years is a long time. They're giving the movies they did make to HBO streaming services. There are no mainstream segments discussing this, but it is still notable, evident and easy to notice nonetheless.

I’ve felt every major “entertainment related” industry in America (from music, television, MSM, movies, games etc), have been getting milked for all they're worth to the point of destruction in the last maybe 5 years. I first noticed this when mumble rap and “hard, gangster, ex-drug dealing rappers”, wearing literal dresses and female outfits came onto the scene (to the disdain of many, especially hip-hop’s core and true fan base). However this showed “inclusivity” in the hip-hop community in an unspoken way - the lgbqtabcdef community was a target demographic even though they represent such a tiny portion of the population, all entertainment related industries were catering to them hardcore.

Hip-hop and the music scene was essentially milked for all it was worth at the expense of “inclusivity”. Hip-hop’s death rattle was an openly homosexual rapper dressed as a cowboy genre bending country music, with “trap music”, a sub-genre of hip-hop relating to the “gangster lifestyle”.

We can see this everywhere else too: The Gaming Industry caters to, and installs degenerative narratives in their games to an audience that doesn’t even play their games, just to appear “woke” at the expense of losing their core fan base. They hype games up filled with this degeneracy just like Cyberpunk 2077, showing highly detailed finished bits of the game bringing in large amounts of pre-orders, only for the game to literally be completely broken and unfinished upon delivery and this is far from the first time this has happened. It’s literally false advertising, virtue signaling, milking money from real gamers who still put faith in gaming, and must be obvious to the developers and company that upon release, these games will have disastrous fallouts like Battlefield V, or even Fallout 4, both of which have a history of releasing decent games and have a dedicated fan base they are eradicating via false promises, releasing broken and unfinished games, showing trailers for preorders that don’t accurately represent the quality or state of the game, and finally, virtue signaling “degeneracy”. This is why I call this “phenomenon” across the different American entertainment industries and platforms “milking”; they realize this will forever tarnish their reputation and affect their fanbase (releasing low quality, unfinished games that were hyped up with trailers that don’t accurately depict the “finished version, as well as the high representation of a small portion of the population when it isn’t necessary for the story or situation in the game, aka virtue signaling, is just the icing on the cake for most serious gamers, I’m sure), and it appears they don’t care if their legacy, reputation or company dies - they’re milking these facets of American society and culture for every penny it’s worth.. until what?

I know many SaidIt users are against platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, but I don’t use cable, it’s simple to use, and there are decent shows on there. There’s a lot of shows with pre-predictive programming as well, which are fun to watch while looking out for all the embedded symbolism.

Recently I’ve noticed a new trend - Netflix has almost no new American produced series (and neither does Amazon Prime), if they do, they’re rare and the content is filled with virtue signaling as well as maybe C & D-List actors and actresses whereas before, we’d see Netflix originals with actors such as Jake Gyllenhaal and others. If you go to Netflix’s top 10 most watched series in the United States, they’re almost always foreign films or series (from Spain, South America, Hungry, Poland, Romania, France, etc). The same goes for Amazon Prime too. If you own either of these services (which again, I know many of you are against and I understand and sympathize as to why you are against them), and go to check this out for yourself, you’ll see Foreign Media and entertainment is being promoted, and developed more than anything coming out of America.

I don’t know if it’s too soon to say, but Hollywood seems to have quietly passed away without anyone noticing or the MSM covering it, or at least taking a hibernation. Has anyone else noticed this?

Why are they milking every aspect of American entertainment to the point where it’s terrible, only to invite Foreign entertainment in (which honestly, is much better.. I've watched maybe 5 foreign series that were both interesting and revealing): https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/11/business/media/11music.html

"There has also been a scramble to squeeze revenue from other unconventional sources, including amateur videos posted to YouTube that incorporate copyrighted songs. Universal Music threatened to withhold its huge music catalog from Microsoft’s new digital music service unless it received a royalty of more than $1 on each sale of the technology giant’s Zune portable music player."

"Lately, the major labels have in effect tried to move into the talent management business by demanding that new artists seeking record contracts give their label a cut of concert earnings or T-shirt and merchandise revenue — areas that had once been outside the labels’ bailiwick.

“They’re all starting to ask for the same things,” said Theo Sedlmayr, an entertainment lawyer based in New York who represents acts like 50 Cent.

Consumer fickleness has become evident on the Billboard charts, where the old blockbuster album appears to be a dying breed. More titles have come and gone from the No. 1 place on the magazine’s national album sales chart this year than in any other year since the industry began computerized tracking of sales in 1991. Analysts say that reflects the lackluster staying power even among songs in demand. But as the sales of albums drop, the major labels are still adopting strategies to squeeze more revenue.” (NYT article from 2006)

I truly feel they’ve been, and are now in hyperdrive, with collapsing the economy and US dollar:

"2021 may be the worst year ever for the U.S. dollar, at least until 2022,” the economist added. World famous analyst and former chief economist at Morgan Stanley, Stephen Roach, says the USD has a 50% chance of collapsing by the end of next year"

To top this all off, it seems like they don’t want America to be the cultural icon it once was, which was a big part of why other countries respected America, for it's creativity, different types of cultures across the country and ingenuity (all of which are gone with their divide & conquer techniques, as well as us now becoming a laughing stock rather than a respected innovator). It's like they want to open the International Floodgates, and all of these things I’ve mentioned, especially Hollywood taking a quiet step back for International Media to take its place, is a sign of this - the television is one of their most powerful weapons, and it’s almost as if they’re priming us for America’s cultural fall. The music industry too, and foreign music is becoming just as popular & iconic if not more, than current American movements.

” Last week, just before the President’s diagnosis consumed us, Hollywood leaders joined in asking that Congress send coronavirus relief funds to exhibitors. Those were described as a life-and-death issue for theaters. A mortal threat. And who can doubt it? If the White House isn’t safe, movie houses are certainly still a question mark.

But the dramatic language of the plea—“our country cannot afford to lose the social, economic, and cultural value that theaters provide” warned a joint letter—couldn’t help but recall a peculiar truth about the movie business. That is, it is usually dying of something. Strikes. New technology. Piracy. Star salaries. Something.“

The pandemic seems to be the scapegoat for many problems the country is facing - “Hollywood is dying because of the lack of movie theaters”. But like I noted before, many actors who worked in Hollywood were all over Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms.

If it’s such a desperate issue, why have they disappeared from the streaming hemisphere as well, and why are the majority of series and movies being pushed, advertised and listed as “top viewed in America” all foreign films with actors Americans are unfamiliar with?

” In an effort to grow its world-wide audience, Netflix has been steadily increasing its catalog of foreign programming, giving Americans access to more international films and series than ever. Netflix shared with The Wall Street Journal the top 10 foreign-language films and TV shows most popular with U.S. audiences. Not a single comedy or meet-cute romance made it onto the lists. Instead, the rankings were dominated by gritty fare like thrillers and action movies.”

They’ve milked almost every aspect of American Culture. What is American Culture in 2021?

Edit: I felt I wrote this quickly and my language was crude and could have been taken offensively in many areas and I apologize for that; I have absolutely no problem with gay people in good shows (I’ve mentioned I’ve watched 5 foreign series and they’re actually really good.. maybe 2 of them included gay characters as a branched story arch, such as “Black Spot”, there wasn’t any type of degeneracy like current American shows and it fit and served purpose. I feel “The Wire”, was one of the few American shows that also did this great with their “Kima” character. As well as my favorite character in the show, Omar Little).

I’m not against people being themselves, or wanting to see characters they can relate to - but make it make sense, and there’s absolutely no need to feature completely unnecessary degeneracy. I apologize for the thoughtless crude language - I hope you get what I mean now in case this did offend.
