I would say this is analogous to the anime industry!
There was a time when small companies could get licenses to then unknown anime to sell in vhs in the west. There were many and they flourished. But that all crashed and the next big thing was streaming, where several new startups that started to grown and then consolidate. Nowadays it would be impossible to think someone in their garage will make it big on the field, the playing field now belongs to big corporations.
There was a time when getting a printing press and hiring some people could become a local newspaper that would generate revenue. Then came radio, television & the internet and printed media shrinked in relevance. Then came social media and nobody ever reads the newspaper, not in the numbers required to call it a good business. Nowadays it would be impossible to think someone in their garage will make it big on the field, the playing field now belongs to big corporations.
I think we can blame fox news, he found out that people don't want information, they want to be entertain4ed and be told they are right and that is what big corporations will continue to do.
