Lately I’ve been noticing just how much of the industry is run by numbers. I sat in a pitch meeting where the execs kept quoting “completion rates” and “retention metrics” instead of actually talking about the story. It honestly made me wonder why we’re even in the room if the algorithm is making the decisions. I get that studios want to minimize risk, but it feels like originality is dying under spreadsheets and data dashboards. Is it killing creativity?

Data has its place, but it should guide, not dictate. The sweet spot is when analytics support creators, not replace their instincts.

There's nothing new about that, though the streaming economy has brought a new set of metrics into the equation. If executives start telling you to write in accordance with what the algorithm requires, you'll have a choice to make. The history of film is full of stories about people being faced with those decisions of creativity coming into conflict with business considerations.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
