Who is the main exporter of entertainment in the world?

90% of Europe doesn't care about America's prudeness. We see you as socially outdated and far from what you are trying to show us from Hollywood.

I'm from Europe. Whether it is seen socially outdated or not is orthogonal to the fact that US is the main exporter.

Just go through your cinema/streaming service and count how many of the movies/shows/music are from US.

Including porn, which is kind of ironic given the puritanical nature being discussed, and not being consequential.
