What's interesting to me is the lack of crossover between the two. As far as I'm aware, no popular Youtube creator has ever successfully transitioned to doing Hollywood movies or TV shows. Sure there's been the occasional cameo, short-lived series, or direct to streaming movie, but none of them had any staying power. Why isn't Hollywood treating youtube as a farm league for new talent and IP that they can snatch up and exploit after the market for it is proven?
To be clear, I'm not saying I want that to happen. The good content creators deserve better as far as I'm concerned. But the opportunity seems so obvious that I'm truly baffled at the apparent lack of interest.
Good creators get paid. Why split the buck with Hollywood rapists I mean producers?
