I get it, he has to maintain the auteur shtick.
But the policy isn't "mindless". It makes sense 100%.
Netflix isn't a film studio, it's a tech company that makes films (and other stuff).
I'm curious about the generational divide when it comes to visiting theatres
https://twitter.com/CarterNixon/status/1997749438677430460"According to a Yahoo News/YouGov Survey conducted May 22-27, 2025, Americans surveyed say they prefer to wait to see a new movie when it’s available on streaming (61%) rather than seeing it in theaters (23%). But young adults under 30 are the age group most likely to head to the cinema, according to the poll... 54% of Gen Z-ers surveyed said they want “an experience I can’t get at home.”

Older folks are more likely to have nicer in home theatres compared to younger people who are mostly renters/living with roommates void of fancy in home setups. This is one factor but doesn't explain the whole picture. Could it be that boomers are more likely to watch random slop films on streaming that don't necessitate an in-theatre experience, busier with other hobbies, and may also be more fearful of random crowds of strangers? What other reasons come to mind? Anecdotally there's an indie theatre downtown where I live that's always packed with retirees, I love to see it even though they can be annoying sometimes
Feel like Gen Z is gonna be the first generation that is going to actively want to decouple from a lot of technologies
Nah this is prolly due to them acquiring ufc that used to be ppv only

Key word is "want". Though as more and more young people become dependent on LLMs to think for them, it's going to be extremely difficult to actually decouple from that without significant intervention and measures taken to counter tech dependency. I can definitely see there being a hippie subset of gen zers who abstain from tech
