If a US worker is worth $100K for a position, don't pay an Indian worker $20k-$40k for the same fucking work! They have the same value, they're not worth different things because they're in a different fucking geographic location!

So that just means they are going to pay US workers $20k-$40k and be ok if there are few US workers.

If they aren't going to fire you and you aren't going to voluntarily take a worse job, what happens?

Maybe, but I still want good new stuff.

And it isn't like executives and investors won't still get rich on making new stuff, they will just cheaper and shittier new stuff.

I'm not judging Gen Alpha, I'm judging the world we are creating for them to grow up in.

Yeah, and that is what I'm concerned about.

Is that good?

For their old stuff, sure.

But I'm thinking of new movies and TV shows. What kinds of movies can be made a decade from now?

Netflix 10 years ago also got amazing deals because most studio executives didn't understand streaming and just saw it as some additional money on top of broadcast, DVD, and syndication. Those revenue streams are mostly gone.

More music gets made now, but the market is completely different.

Bands have generally switched to individual artists with production more handled by others. A majority of a famous singer's earnings now comes from ticket sales, causing a spike in ticket prices. There is also the chase for virality, seen a lot in both ring tone rap at the nadir of the industry and songs today based mainly on their TikTok hooks.

TV shows and movies have already lost their "tour" with an overall decline in theatre and we are already seeing a lot of the middle ground of movies that were made 20+ years ago no longer get made.

Content will still get made, and probably at a similar quantity. However, I expect the industry to continue its trend to either micro budget work or something gigantic with no middle ground, just like with music today.

I'm not implying that at all.

All I'm saying is that the industry made a certain amount of money per year based on cable and broadcast and it isn't going to moving forward. Because of this, I see the so called golden age of television ending because there is no one to pay for the development of new shows and movies, even if those costs were inflated by studios.

We can pirate what was already made, but I don't see the new stuff getting made for anywhere near the budget current shows were being made at.

Hulu is owned by studios. It was a joint venture between ABC, NBC, and Fox. After Disney(ABC) bought Fox, Comcast(NBC) sold its share to Disney.

In a lot of cases, the use of engineer as a protected title has been given up due to various reasons, with only professional engineer being protected.

And the title of this article is blatantly misrepresenting the case. The issue isn't talking about the math, but getting in that legal gray area where the public could think he is a professional engineer making these claims.
