Pretty shitty thumbnail selection if that’s the premise.
Yes that’s what happens when media consolidates under right wing billionaires.
Are white men really the demographic giving the most money to made for streaming films though? Seems like they’re just shooting themselves in the ass.
Hollywood has motivation to shit on Big Tech streaming films.
The films themselves are shitty enough to be ass on their own merits.
And people still aren’t watching.
But I’m sure StreamBros and TechBros and MediaBros and PoliticsBros will quadruple down and put less and less representation in anywhere. That’ll show us lowly plebs what we want!
Now if you’ll recuse me I’m off to root for my nearly all Black and Polynesian pro football team!
Oof. I guess it’s understandable considering having a female or non-white lead risks triggering the attention of MAGA’s War on Diversity:
>Lead actors of color declined from 2024’s all-time high of 51 percent to 36 percent in 2025 — from a majority to nearly a third. It was the first time in three years their share dropped below proportionate representation with the U.S. population. The share of streaming films directed by a woman continued to decline to 23.6 percent, the lowest this annual report, which began tracking streaming films in 2022, has seen.
> … Things don’t look any better further down the call sheet. Just 25.8 percent of streaming films’ casts were people of color, down from 41 percent.
The 2026 reports for both streaming and theatrical are here: https://socialsciences.ucla.edu/initiatives/hollywood-diversity-report/
This is why tv is so trash now
