the fact that content producers are not noticing they are being fucked sideways by the distribution companies, killing their art to maintain their profits
But the thing is, they're not. Distributors provide a lot of liquidity and a lot of their bets don't pay off. Even the big studios only make profit margins on the order of 5-7%. Besides liquidity, the distribution process itself involves significant logistical complexity; it essentially involves doing multiple product launches on different scales almost every week of the year.
"In what sense do you consider yourself a producer?" i am sorry, but i cannot help but read that as being a bit fucking condescending.
It's just a straight question, because I don't understand what your relationship to the industry is, if any. I do work in film productionand post-production, usually recording sound on sets or editing and supervising other editors in post production.
