Once b/w costs set the playing field, any idiot could see, "time to give away full movies".
Just those who had the balls to do it, bought a script and did it. But someone was certainly going to give them away. So indeed blame bw costs in the historical record.
Still it is the footing the whole thing is built on. It may be cheap this year, will it always be cheap.
So the tube model is not fully on solid ground. It is bw's bitch.
