    This essay is incisive and illuminating. I've quoted a few sentences below which operate as something of a central thesis:

    Netflix has created a pyramid scheme of attention, with no end in sight. And yet if the streamer admitted how little impact its movies make, it would undermine its long-running pitch to audiences, Hollywood talent, and their business representatives that the company is a grand star-making enterprise that produces great cinema with commercial appeal.

    I will freely admit that this article reinforced previously held beliefs regarding streaming giants slowly morphing into cable companies, as well as my passion in seeking out films by your favorite directors in theatres. Or better yet, your local cinema/underground film club! I'm curious to hear what insight Tildes has to offer on the matter.
