   they put a lot of money into making various tech and entertainment things have better quality.

   but they kind of figured that out in the 1950s. ever seen an Elvis movie? it's basically HD on film. with excellent colours. they figured that out already, without computers.

   we've mostly figured out how to do it in digital now. but no real advance. they had good picture and sound in the 1950s for movies.

   we have it at home now, which is nice, but not a real advancement. it's just cheaper now.

     @thor also easier to replicate and slower prevent degradation

     @thor @Amikke you have to edit if you are going to make movies. It's a huge part of the process

     @Amikke @thatguyoverthere easy editing (and often destruction of historical evidence) is not always a boon...

     @thatguyoverthere @thor also editing analog film is extremely limited and usually tedious so for many uses it still needs to be digitized, losing all advantages of analog version.

     @thor @Amikke But I can (and have) make movies without having to have the technical experience of working with film for the editing process.

     @Amikke @thatguyoverthere also, if you ask some people who actually create art for a living, limitations are often a source of creativity. working within limitations forces you to think.

     @thor @Amikke people can and still do use film. but the addition of digital technology makes the hobby of film making far more accessible (both in skill and financial cost) to the average person which I think increases the pool of creative talent.

     @thatguyoverthere @Amikke why is it that Christopher Nolan chose to work with black and white film for his latest epic?

     @thor @Amikke no I don't spend much time on there, but the videos I do watch may not have been possible for the creator without the technology they used. I don't really think making something inaccessible to all but a small minority is a great way to foster creativity. You don't have to like or watch everything. Also youtube uses algorithms designed to increase engagement (and time on the platform) not push out the highest quality filmography on the platform.

     @thatguyoverthere @Amikke have you looked at YouTube lately? it does that too, and it's pretty awful now

     @thor @Amikke Not sure what you mean. Are you saying that digital technology doesn't increase accessibility or that the talent pool doesn't increase as a result?

     @thor @Amikke well that's just silly. There are people who are very creative but simply could not fund the kind of setup you would need to have to produce and distribute an analog film. It's also something most people who do it have gont to school for which I imagine isn't cheap and would be hard to justify for a hobby. Of course the shallow end of the talent pool will grow along with the deep end, but the pool is objectively larger when you remove things like financial barriers.

     @thatguyoverthere @Amikke the gatekeeping of the old guard has SOME benefits. i don't like that it did, but it kinda did...

     @thor @Amikke why is it bad? they might make something stupid? who cares? does it hurt them? does it hurt someone else? the potential for them to do something interesting is worth the risk of seeing something uninteresting IMO

     @thatguyoverthere @Amikke the new way and the old way both have their problems. leaving it wide open for any kind of idiot is bad. but forcing people through a narrow test is bad too...

     @thor @Amikke I guess I just don't see the harm in someone making a bad movie or a shitty song. To me there is a far higher probability that something "good" will be created that might otherwise not be than that anything "bad" that comes out will cause any kind of real world harm.

     @thatguyoverthere @Amikke you're asking people to judge. humans are notoriously bad judges. there is no good solution to it.

     @thor @Amikke for the record, I do think analog tech has a certain appeal to it, but I can't ignore the way digital tech has proliferated and made so many hobbies and potential careers possible where there used to be gate keepers before.
