I also think, though...
film in general is a game of numbers.
And so if you're a studio and you've got a slate of 21 films, 18 to 21 films, on average, like five to six of those movies are going to do well.
And the other ones are kind of going to do meh.
And the same is true for YouTube and creators.
It's not because they are a lesser class of creative.
They've proven they're not.
And it's not because there is more expectation that all those audiences will convert.
It's just a game of numbers.
Right now, a film is doing really well that is powered by YouTuber.
And there are going to be films that are powered by YouTubers who are not going to do really well.
And the more that YouTube becomes ubiquitous with just media and film as opposed to new media or new film, it's going to kind of go back into that traditional system.
And so I think if you're YouTube, the question is, would you rather be known for minting the next generation of filmmakers without having to invest in them in the slightest and just saying they're at home on our platform, or would you rather try to figure out the cost of running
an exhibition business at a time when that's still uncertain, I think if you're Neil, you just go, we're going to take the easy way out.
I could not agree with you more.
I think we're about to see a bunch of executives, older executives at studios say there's a one-to-one in YouTube audience to theatrical turnout, ignoring the fact that Blumhouse has a huge fan base built into its theatrical film, ignoring the fact that A24 has a big fan base into its distribution.
And so I think you're going to see a lot of Hollywood executives say, great, there's a one-to-one relationship between subscribe
numbers on a channel and box office figures.
And I think ultimately, it is the type of content, it is the type of fandom, it is the type of communal event and intimacy that those fans want.
It is the type of creator who can make a really good film.
