    I would say that if no one paid to see the movie maybe studios would quit doing this, but there are usually a lot of people who don’t know or don’t care about any given shitty thing, so things get slowly worse.

      That’s the flow of the world. The vast majority doesn’t know and doesn’t care. We all get what we deserve in the end though…

          Well in the context of using shitty things that will shit on us in the end, it’s what we deserve too :)

            Why? Its basically tautological that using shitty things will lead to shitty outcomes, we wouldn’t call them shitty in the first place otherwise, but what’s the mechanism by which this causes the users of those shitty things to deserve that outcome?

              The mechanism? Ignorance. In the simple sense of “play stupid games, win stupid prices”. If you use a thing you absolutely don’t understand, and it bites you in the ass…well?

                That just describes that doing some thing, the “stupid games”, merely causes some negative effect, the “stupid prizes”, not that the person playing those games deserves the results of their actions. To put it another way, if they deserve them, then if hypothetically speaking the person plays the stupid games but for some reason the stupid prizes never result, then there is something morally wrong with that situation and the world would be better had things gone as expected. If they dont deserve them, then the person playing the stupid games just got lucky that time and thered be no benefit to trying to force the negative result that didnt happen to occur after all.

                  I really don’t get your point. In the sense of playing stupid games, they usually do result in stupid prices. With rare exceptions maybe, which won’t influence the point at all. If you do a thing out of ignorance and reap unwanted side-effects, you well deserve those side-effects for lack of informing yourself.
