alt Hacker NewsThe entertainment CEOs in charge would happily enshittify to stream AI slop with no workers if they thought they could get away with it. As it is, they try to leverage the threat, as well as relocating and restarting studio locations, resetting skill quality bases in order to break unions and reduce wages.

You're missing the point of my argument again and moving the frame of the discussions to random tangents you make up, but don't disprove what I'm saying.
Let me disprove your point AGAIN, this time with numbers. According to my Google-Fu, 2000-3000 people worked on making the Matrix in 1999, while today Disney employs 4000-6000 people for their shitty Marvel movies or remakes like snow white.
So no, the enshitification is not due to execs cutting workers, since more people work today on blockbuster movies than before, while quality is more shit.
The enshitification is because the people they employ now are either incompetent or malicious or a mix both.
