Indeed, much of enshittification can be blamed on the corporations, but this one is definitely the consumer's fault.

Just last year, I went to a new, original movie called Juror #2. It looked great in the trailer, and I was not disappointed! At least, not by the movie. I was disappointed by the fact that there were only like 20/30 people in the room to watch it. And this was only a week after it came out! Meanwhile, Gladiator II had a fully booked and bigger room.

Same, I remember going to the theatre to watch a Ghibli movie, can’t remember which, maybe the wind rises. And the auditorium was empty except for another couple. Meanwhile there was a huge crowd coming out of Trolls 2 or whatever the fuck

'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' was probably my favourite movie this year and there were only like 10 other people in the theater on release night, which is suprising for such a good action flick from a popular franchise.
