Cinema is increasingly becoming industrialized “content” rather than art. Streaming platforms prioritize quantity, algorithmic appeal, and instant consumption over auteur vision, risk-taking, or aesthetic depth. Franchise sequels, IP farming, and 90-minute “products” dominate because data-driven executives fear financial failure more than mediocrity. True cinematic art—slow, challenging, personal—still exists, but mostly in independent circles or festivals, marginalized by the content machine.https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/08/martin-scorsese-cinema-is-being-devalued
