I kind of want to hate on 4K TV as an unnecessary gimmick, and it's easy to do so.

These days, it doesn't matter if what you make is good, as long as enough people have heard of the name to give it a go on streaming platforms. That's also why we have endless sequels instead of new ideas.

If subscriptions to streaming platforms were as easy as flipping the channel, then we wouldn't see so much of this. Also, ad-supported streaming might curtain this trend, but right now, your money is already in their bank.

The fact that this will undoubtedly be used for more woke propaganda isn't even the biggest problem.

Of course, medicine is an easy counter-examples where formal education is an absolute requirement.

So what does that look like for your particular field?
