The reality was that the early 20th century was the age of Wunderwaffe. Machine guns, planes, chemical weapons, tanks, submarines, semiautomatic and automatic rifles, paratroopers, missiles, jets, and atomic weapons may seem 'mundane' now, but they were wunderwaffe as much as super heavy battleships or superheavy tanks.
Patton for example went from making his own cavalry sword to pioneering tank warfare. We should appreciate that it was an era of experimentation and rapid technological change, and nobody knew what worked and what didn't.

All media companies have to do is make a centralized hub where customers can watch whatever they want and profit from unobtrusive ads go to whoever owns the video. But instead every single media company needs a streaming service, they train customers to never want to see ads, and as a result the whole model is unsustainable and will likely just become "cable but on the internet".
This is why Steam succeeded but Netflix will fail.

This is normal corporate behavior. The creative cycle is always
>initial idea
>idea gets greenlit
>initial pilot or rough film
>focus groups and executives pick it apart
>revised draft is shown
>more focus groups
>final film
That's how the process has ALWAYS worked. Nothing has changed. You want to say that X was ruined by it? Sure. It's happened. But it's not new.

>What killed /tg/
The decline in quality of both Warhammer and D&D, and nothing to replace it. Both IPs still have fans, but they dwindle through attrition and the fact it's far easier to be a fan of 40k via vidya than anything /tg/ related. Same with D&D, easy to be a secondary but hard to find a group.
Also, death of quest threads. While yes it is true /tg/ may not have been the best place for them, at least they were OC. Now we only have the occasional "/tg/ makes up a setting" to replace it, and in those it's less than a handful of autists all working hard with the crunch while a dozen ideas guys are only able to do the initial worldbuilding but not much after.
>how would you fix it?
More OC is the solution, and discussion of tabletop games beyond Warhammer and D&D. These are not bad IPs, they're only bad in they're almost exclusively what /tg/ is interested in.

You can blame current events, but the reality is the British invented the nanny state. They literally invented Puritanism. The entire history of England since about the 1600's has been a non-stop attempt to stamp out human rights and liberties and replace them with an all powerful government made up of a bunch of land owning elites and their beauracrats toadies. You think your country has problems with kikes and wannabe dictators? You have NO CONCEPT of what tyranny is until you become a British SUBJECT, at which point your ass belongs to Big Ben and you will bong when Parliament tells you to.

It is telling that the American Revolution started not because the British taxed some tea or occupied Boston with troops, but because they gave a middle finger to American colonists when all they did was ask for some seats in Parliament. That's it. "Gee, we're a whole continent of people now, can we vote for laws n sheet?"
"FUCK YOU" said England, for no good reason whatsoever.
They literally could have had everything for the next three centuries, gotten huge revenues from America, but instead they chose not to share even the smallest shred of power. That's the UK for you.
So when it comes to porn, horror movies, children's cartoons, even smoking on your own property or owning a television - "FUCK YOU" says England.
