All of a sudden, people were watching this type of fare on their television screens.

And that meant that they were watching less Netflix or less Hulu or whatever it might have been.

So all of the prestige fare that really worked on cable, you know, 20 years ago, it stopped working as much today.

And so you're getting a lot more unintentional slop now.

But it's not because they're trying to produce it.

It's that they're trying to produce just more content than ever before.

And if you put quantity over quality, you're going to inherently get some rough, rough gems mixed in with all those diamonds.

I actually think that's exactly what's going to happen.

And it's going to take some time.

But here's what I think is going to happen.

The amount of generative AI contents we talk about soar too.

You think about even these micro dramas a little bit, which in part are being made because of generative AI technologies that are allowing them to make things cheaper and faster.

This is going to increase the amount of content.

We're going to enter an infinite content era and a lot of it's going to be really sloppy.

And as humans who love good storytelling, it's like how you were seeking out really good TV and I try to seek out really good TV and films.

We're gonna have to go and figure out where that is and we're gonna pay for it.

And so you might have an Apple TV Plus or a Netflix in 20 years, 25 years, be 40, $50 a month, but you'll pay for it because they will end up leaning into higher quality programming and backing away from some of the slop as that slop takes over all of our other content viewing.

But in order to get to that breaking point, things have to break a little bit further.

I mean, there is a world that is inevitable and where YouTube will eat everyone's lunch.

It's kind of it's been happening.
