It’s it being produced by Amazon? Seems pretty on brand for them.

The older I get the more I appreciate Filthy Frank for enduring the suffering for content instead of outsourcing it.

He did use that old guy for Dracula flow, but it wouldn’t have worked without that specific guy though

Why would he see it? He is one of the rich people who want us to dance for him.

Drag thought the point of Squid Game is that risking death to play sick games for the amusement of the rich is better than living under capitalism.

Squid Games is only possible under capitalism. In fact, I’d say SG is peak capitalism.

Netflix: takes chance on relatively unknown creators’ dystopic show about capitalism and the rich exploiting the poor for entertainment
sees program become a surprise mega-success
makes a reality show emulating the plot of the show, for profit
They basically built the fucking Torment Nexus! 🤦

I mean that should have been obvious when they turned a dystopian novel into the bluprint for reality TV. It’s called Big Brother for a reason. Movies like The Truman Show and EdTV showed the dark side of being under constant public surveillance and now influencers turn their lifes into reallity TV willingly.

The Truman Show is not a good representation of the realities of influencers semi-permanent visibility.
The choice to do it is the first, and major, difference.
