Guy did a digital forensic audit of Minnesota in 2018, found $100+ BILLION in fraud, told everyone and no one did anything about it.

@JohnCleese The dead parrot skit but when you bounce it on the counter a squad of coppers burst in and arrest you, the court orders the parrot returned so it can be rehoused in your confiscated flat. As you leave the docket for your life sentence you see J. K. Rowling and Elon qued up next.
How DARE Thomas Edison get rich by inventing the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture, alkaline storage batteries and large scale electrical grids!!!!

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.
Throughout my career, I've been dismayed by the contempt some genre executives have held for fans, routinely underestimating their power to make or break a show. I've watched this repeat too many times, across too many shows, to be talking about any single one of them. Yet despite the mounting evidence over the past few years, they continue to dismiss the data, repeating the same miscalculations time and again.
But technology has rewritten the rules, and the power dynamics are shifting. Today’s fans are organized, strategic, and highly data-literate - effectively turning the platforms' own metrics against them.
As the bets get bigger and the audience grows sharper, it will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
