> The studios can't be the studios with second-rate talent
Combine:
1. There is always a pipeline of new talent,
2. Businesses do not invest without a return.
So either the studios are going to lock in a return, or the studios are going to go away and the entertainment industry is going to fragment into a million pieces.
As much as I'd like to see the second case, my guess is that there are enough starving actors that they will sign up for long-term owned-output contracts.

And they got their return. Are you trying to say they spent more than they made off Louis CK? This is a weak argument for how they're going to turn back the clock.
