I agree with this take. I have a wife with pain management issues and long COVID. In addition to movie theaters on the whole being trash, it’s VERY hard for us to get excited about going to one because we know she’s going to be uncomfortable at best for two hours.
I mean, screw monopolies. But as someone who avoids movie theaters for disability reasons I actually agree that exclusivity periods for films are bad for consumer choice
Watching in theaters being a different experience is not an argument for exclusivity. It's the opposite.

If the theater experience is valuable in itself, then surely people will buy that experience even if they have other options for seeing the film?
If access to that experience is only viable if consumers can't watch the film another way, that is, by definition, anti-competitive.

imagine investing in public media and ensuring that media literacy (and spotting unreliable narrators) was integral in primary school education
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

in a world where success is seen through numbers, those metrics can be skewed easily.
How do you measure views, someone clicking on it and watching it all the way through? just clicking? Who sets those metrics, when does it change? When the shareholders get nervous? yknow?
