This is actor worship, the new cult that appeared in the 1950s originated intentionally from Hollywood.

Normal human societies correctly identify that people who lie about everything, including everything about themselves for money are practicing a type of prostitution, and treat and have treated actors accordingly throughout human history.

In case of books, middlemen were horrifically abundant. Publisher, editor, official state censor/today's sensitivity reader.

Direct self publishing removed most of those, and now published, edited and officially state censored/sensitivity read "best sellers" sell five digit copies on a good release.

Meanwhile there are more book reading happening than ever, mainly on the back on direct self publishing which bypasses all of those.

Well if we're talking about a game streaming service, yeah. They're paying a monthly fee for a service they essentially aren't using. Clearly getting paid for less service delivered will be more profitable than getting the same fee for someone using it out the wazoo and being demanding about things like frame rates and latency.

Honey, no one cares about academia any more. It's been studied by people who replaced them after far left subverted the academia. The corpos. And you can see the results not because they publish what they find, but because they act to generate results they want in reality based on things they found by studying each subject.

Yeah -- because you can't connect your shiny new AI data center to the grid if there's no hardware to do that.
Interesting the people most in need of this stuff right now, and the most desperate to get their projects up and running fast, also happen to have very deep pockets, too.
