The moat around TV shows feels gone with TikTok/YT.

I am 99% certain I could reach parity in a weekend by publishing content on public networks, without the old distribution or pricing constraints.

I think it would all run on infrastructure that is effectively free to use.

I am not certain I have the bandwidth to handle distribution, sustained attention, and moderation once the content starts flowing.

True, but TikTok and YT are super open ended and vast, anyone can post anything for everyone.

This is a singular solution.

My friends are circulating our own Grok videos (6-10 seconds) of memes and parodies.

We are re-making entire scenes from movies with our desired dialog and endings.
