I didnt really think of this till I read his post: "Obviously, the less scripted television and film content that's being produced, the more alienated consumers will shift over to all the new activities -- and the less likely they will ever go back." Commercial TV and Movies still draw huge numbers because it's scripted...which means its about often good storytelling...which trumps most everything. We all love good stories well told. As the Writer's Strike continues and the studios keep adding "reality" TV and cheaper programming to their schedules, the difference between them and "web video" becomes less and less. The big question is whether Hollywood writers and producers will go back to their cells, or realize that distribution is wide open to whatever they have in imagination. There is money for good ideas well sold.
