    Don’t worry about the rant, we’re all here to chat about whatever. Most of us, anyways.

    You would have to get the same chicken burger from the same corporation and thats monopoly and its bad.

    Yeah, many people have an objection to Chick-fil-A due to their um… views, and they should have the option to get a greasy fried chicken sandwich somewhere else. (Or on Sundays)

    but i feel like this is more aplicable into artistic industries like movies and music or even with tech industries

    It’s more that the people who are funding these who don’t want to take risks, right? Many of them are trying to replicate what works due to the aversion for risks, instead of trying to make something that’s good.

      Yes thats all true, im aware that not everyone whants or even needs to pursue innovation and that is good, not everybody is steve jobs nor james cameron nor they should be, but it does become a problem when they copy way to much, like for example disney movies, How many movies have had a main character become grumpy because they lost a loved one? Im talking indiana jhones, luke skywalker, han solo, obi wan and nick fury i hear even if i hadnt really seen their series and i heard that in hounted mansion movie too, hell two of those are the same actor.

      They are just copying what has worked in the past ( i think its the Logan movie they are copying but im not sure) and made products with doubius quality while burning thons of money without making any of it back, specially with indiana jhones wich seems to be the biggest bomb ever.

      They could have used all those billions into making something good or just straight up donate it to charity, or just spend it in something with a better return of investnent like heroin, but they thrown it from a bridge chasing trends, making no bodies lifes better nor happier and probably had an impact on the market somehow, even though fuck the market, but a lot of people other than the super rich do eat from it.

      Or at least thats my perspective on this. Again sorry for the length.
