For younger audiences who came of age during the streaming wars, the "magic" of Hollywood is already dead. They know that the Marvel movie they just watched was largely rendered by underpaid VFX artists in a different time zone. They know the actors are managed by PR firms.

The Leaving Neverland and Quiet on Set model has established a new rule: The comfort of the accused is irrelevant. The modern entertainment industry documentary is not neutral. It takes sides. It platforms victims. This has made the genre dangerous for legacy studios to produce, which is exactly why independent platforms will continue to thrive.
