$10 for everything that was already produced in history? Sure.

$10 to fund equivalent production of new movies and TV shows? Impossible. Profits in the media industry aren’t that high, so reducing the amount of incoming monthly money to less than a single movie ticket or 1/6 of a cable subscription means that they can’t afford to produce nearly as much content as they do right now.

Doesn't most movies earn back the money the first days/weeks in the cinemas?

But you might have a point for tv series. I suspect they have gotten much more expensive to make the last 1-2 decades.

If they started paying everyone minimum wage and cut production costs they could.

Good luck forcing everyone to work for minimum wage. They’d leave for other industries, we don’t have a command economy.

Acting is a calling. We would lose many pretty faces but the people remaining would be extremely talented perhaps more average looking.

There are a lot of people in community theater now who would love a bigger audience. Tons of youtube creators would gladly make shows for the masses if the networks would have them many would even pay.

You want the studios to get together and fix the prices for consumers? That would end up well
