    it was that companies just copy each other in the pursuit for endless revenue and don’t like to take risks in products that could make people’s lives better

    That’s still not a valid point. There are all kinds of products being released all the time that make people’s lives better. (Don’t mistake that for claiming that all products from all companies make people’s lives better, or that capitalism is the only way to have that happen.)

      Im just gonna copy and paste another comment i already made about that:

      Yes thats all true, im aware that not everyone whants or even needs to pursue innovation and that is good, not everybody is steve jobs nor james cameron nor they should be, but it does become a problem when they copy way to much, like for example disney movies, How many movies have had a main character become grumpy because they lost a loved one? Im talking indiana jhones, luke skywalker, han solo, obi wan and nick fury i hear even if i hadnt really seen their series and i heard that in hounted mansion movie too, hell two of those are the same actor.

      They are just copying what has worked in the past ( i think its the Logan movie they are copying but im not sure) and made products with doubius quality while burning thons of money without making any of it back, specially with indiana jhones wich seems to be the biggest bomb ever.

      They could have used all those billions into making something good or just straight up donate it to charity, or just spend it in something with a better return of investnent like heroin, but they thrown it from a bridge chasing trends, making no bodies lifes better nor happier and probably had an impact on the market somehow, even though fuck the market, but a lot of people other than the super rich do eat from it.

      Or at least thats my perspective on this. Again sorry for the length.
