Yep, I think we're both correct. https://www.pewresearch.org/chart/domestic-ticket-sales-plunged-during-the-pandemic-and-still-havent-recovered/

To add another reason, Hollywood producers seem quite keen to rehash the same movie or type of movie over and over. They remake movies literally multiple times. And they have nearly zero original movie ideas that they promote. Sure, superhero movies since Iron Man has done fairly well -- because the comic book nerds finally grew up and have their own money to spend. But that isn't going to last, especially in this post-pandemic, greed-ridden, unregulated economy.

None of this should be a surprise to any studio exec or producer.

So they're shooting themselves in the foot. Good. I deleted my 15-year account back in 2023 after that greedy piece of shit, spez, screwed over the app devs. Only reason I ever visit reddit now is if it happens to be the end result of a google search. If they require me to log in to see it, then they will no longer get my traffic. And I suspect that will be the case for quite a lot of people.

In fact, the evidence clearly points to Americans getting dumber.

As an American, we’ll be lucky if we still have a country in 10 or 20 years. Assuming Dickfingers doesn’t try to nuke everyone before he finally dies.

While it won’t solve the systemic problem of sheer evil and complete idiocy in the Republican Party, I cannot wait until this asshole is dead and gone just so I no longer have to see, read about, or hear the ugly gasbag anymore.

Here’s hoping for that well-earned and exceedingly painful deadly heart attack to arrive soon.
