>why sequels and reboots are so prevalent

People like watching familiar things that they know will be good.

>how oligopolistic the entertainment industry is

It really isn't.

> how the structure of fandom has fundamentally changed since corporations have embraced fanwork

How so?

Disney is big. If geeks would rather complain about Disney being big than form fandoms around the absolute fucking shitload of independent sci-fi and fantasy creators, that helps Disney and hurts those creators.

How does criticizing Disney help Disney? How is criticizing Disney incompatible with forming fandoms around independent creators? What does any of this have to do with the factual question of whether or not the entertainment industry is an oligopoly? I have so many questions!

Every drop of time and attention you squander on Disney is time and attention you didn’t give to making their competition stronger. If that’s what you want, fine, but don’t get all pissy when you get called out.

Expecting people to 24/7 marketing machines for indie creators is ridiculous lol and counterproductive because no one likes a shill

Getting people to boycott Disney or aware of their shitty business practices has merits too. It'd be grand if they get pushback the next time they try to extend copyright, for instance. I don't get why you think this is an either or situation.
