Comment on Brandon Sanderson's theory on why the film industry is floundering (YouTube Short)

It makes sense because it’s also the story of the times I suspect, and there’s likely a lesson to be learnt that how we useful market dynamics can be some aspects of civilised life may be best left effectively non-profit.
