But I think all that is still downstream from the capitalist mode of overproduction.

Oh yeah absolutely, this is all basically just a metastasis at this point

But what's enough in this day and age? Enough to cover costs? Enough so that the studio execs can buy 5 new yachts per year instead of just 3? I have no idea how much they were actually making off WoT

It's this whole culture where being "mid" is somehow horrifying. Either everything you do has to be a world record and the best most amazing thing ever, or you might as well not bother. Everything's been "optimised" to death.

Weeellll, "not well received" is more than a bit subjective, so it was kind of hard to tell from your initial comment that you personally don't think it'd be worth more seasons and not just that it'd be expensive to make but worth it if someone could cough up the money.

Tons of studios could easily afford it, and there's plenty of people who did like it – enough to get us 3 seasons anyhow

That's a different question than whether anyone could afford to finance it

I mostly don't even bother watching new series anymore, I've gotten so used to the good ones getting canceled way too soon

It's not like studios and streaming services are poor

You called someone an "instagram drama queen bot" for absolutely no reason, and you think everybody else is being cruel to you?

But isn't that still your pride talking?

I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that I doubt the people giving the gift see your son (or you) as a charity case. To your son's best friend it's just about giving his bestie a gift he knows he'll like

If they're actually wealthy and they said this was just chump change for them, and it was a gift, I just don't quite see where the "unhealthy dynamic" is. You sure this isn't just about pride?

If they're fine with it, what's the problem exactly?

People don't dislike you because of your neurodivergence, but because you consistently act like an insufferable asshole towards more or less everyone and then use being neurodivergent as an excuse
