I think that's very true. And it applies to film and other media as well. There's vastly more content available to far larger audiences than ever. There may very well be more concentration on the business side, but not on the creative side. I watched American Fiction on Prime Video this week and it was really outstanding. It turned a modest profit on a $10M budget at the box office which makes it barely a blip on box office records, but on the flip side it's the kind of film that would have had zero chance of getting made 30+ years ago.
