God forbid they take a risk on a story they like that isn’t already a best seller

Well, that’s the thing. It’s not like writers don’t have original ideas; i’m certain they have plenty of them. It’s just that the producers are too terrified to take a risk on an original idea (that they have to pay for).

But, apparently, they’re not too afraid to steal original ideas from the Internet. Fucking chickenshit motherfuckers…

Of course, it’s all about the fucking money

Writers in general have original ideas, but Hollywood filters them out. Hollywood selects for boot-licking and ass-kissing. Anyone with thoughts of their own washes out early.

It also doesn't help that >90% of content is crap, no matter the medium. It's a risky investment.

That being said, the way to handle those odds is to make a lot of smaller bets and listen to feedback. Once you average everything out, you can get good returns on investment
