So film is going to be around for a long time. Just its utter simplicity is an advantage-- because the cumbersomeness of modern digital technology infects the artistry in no small degree. What we can hope for will happen, too-- these obsolete video formats will doom these works in the end which is great because most of this stuff is total crap. Has there ever been a worse age for movies? They're just big TV shows now. Those who cheer digital as a great improvement in things also remind me of the same people who make fun of physical books. Like, how many of these critics ever actually read them? One thing I don't understand, either. How come digital fans always insist on calling what they do "films"? It's never just "videos" to them.
