Over a long period, I have at least provided links to support the statements I have made.. You don't have to believe any of them, though. You can choose to believe what you want to believe.

You keep talking about 'my future' as if I was engineering it. I'm not, of course, I'm simply forming my views on the basis of what I read and what the industry itself appears to be working towards.

I do understand that you are more comfortable with things as they are, but your personal preference does not determine the future.

It looked as though you were responding to Max's statement, but OK, fair enough.

While I understand what you are saying about existing writers, directors, etc being stretched to provide all this material, you are assuming that there is no other talent out there. It is incredibly difficult for anyone with aspirations to write, direct , perform, etc in this line of business, and increased demand will create more opportunities for them.
While I'd generally welcome the increased employment opportunities it could give I won't hold my breath for increased quality given the extent television scrapes the barrel.
