      Exactly, when these reviews are essentially commodified, the reviewers themselves aren’t generating a lot of value for the companies. It has completely lost the edge to YouTube and streaming reviewers.

    Capital demands perpetually increasing rates of profit while competition continuously decreases the rates of returns for established industries (i.e. advertising).

    It’s a contradiction inherent in capitalism.
