  And as an industry they return less than the sp500 so not only is movie viewing horrible, movie making is a terrible investment .

  Games are a lot more expensive to make now. While the tooling has improved, the cost of labor has risen-sadly not enough to keep pace with the cost of living. The cost of a game to the consumer is also a lot cheaper than it was in even the 90’s. So you have a lead gen strategy in gamepass that forces them to recoup in other areas but they still aren’t able to recoup enough. Because of political monetary policies which gamers don’t really want to think about, currencies are worth less (USD lost 7% this year already-$100 bill is now worth $93) and the game prices haven’t adjusted to compensate. In short, games are hitting a similar wall to movies where in a world with Netflix, everything is going to end up looking like mediocre trash if it has to be basically free.

  The experience of modern theaters isn’t enjoyable. They don’t pay their labor enough for the service to be decent so everything is already gross even though most have been recently refurbished. The size of a big screen over a very large tv doesn’t really matter to humans as we normalize the size in our head after a few minutes. The sound is great so long as everyone is actually watching the movie and not making their own noise. The chairs are supposed to be comfy loungers but I can’t seem to find one that’s comfortable for my size. The concessions don’t taste good anymore. The popcorn is dusty / dry most of the time and the fake butter is far more chem than butter for the last 15 years. It was more common to have a shared experience before covid. It seems like there’s less of a shared experience in theaters now. I’m indifferent to how much a theater costs. If it cost a nickel or a hundo, it’s still the same poor experience for me.

  Fun fact, frogs won’t actually sit in the water, they always jump out when it gets too hot. Hilariously, humans are one of the few species of animals that will cook.
