    Movie theaters are suffering because of covid. So studios and publishers are looking to streaming for distribution. With theaters movies had to appeal to a wide range of people because you need asses in the seats. So less controversial content, more generalized tropes and stories. Budgets inflated because of eye-candy and star-power. Streaming kinda upturns that because you can sell the streaming service itself rather than a specific movie. So you can actually make it a plus that your streaming services hosts controversial, underground, or counter-culture stuff. And sort of like podcasts, you get to choose your audience with a movie on a streaming services.

    Therefore I propose that high political streaming services or movies/shows will gain popularity over the next couple of years. All these right wing media people are either going to try to create their own service or elbow their way into existing services. Then all the right wing people can shun degenerate Hollywood and Netflix. We get two parallel entertainment industries like two political realities.
