A lot of conservative people think Hollywood studio heads are ideologically left-wing. But the truth is they’re not even especially progressive. They’re just ruthlessly good at capturing attention. They’ll greenlight shows they personally dislike, fund creators who challenge their values, and bet on narratives that make them uncomfortable—if they think it’ll get views, go viral, or generate cultural momentum. That’s not political conviction; that’s media savvy.
Crypto, by contrast, often refuses to fund anything that doesn’t align with its own narrow ideological comfort zone doubling down on aesthetics and narratives that only resonate internally—NFT drops, libertarian themes, recycled in-group memes. So if you’re building a crypto social network and refusing to back culture that might actually connect outside your bubble, you’re not failing because the world doesn’t get it. You’re failing because you don’t want to meet the world halfway.
