AI will not obliterate gatekeepers, it will only vastly inflate their numbers as it becomes harder and harder to earn a living.

Personally, I'd go an extra step and transform the whole thing into a consumer coop with no executives or shareholders, but I know that's not going to happen.

All I know is the audiences you've lost would do a better job running Warner Bros than you, Ted Sorandos, or any tech bro or Hollywood suit.

Think of the pitch to buyers: "How would you like to make billions by doing what people pay to tell you to do?"

You'd also get strong engagement from a range of demographics and an accurate sense of audience demand which would could mean fewer theatrical flops, but I know you don't care about that.

Create an online platform where members -sorry, subscribers- vote on what films get greenlit, what creators to do overall and first look deals with, be test audiences, and do focus groups.

The executive side would essentially be executing a ready made plan other people have paid them to make.
