I dunno. Entertainment is sort of inherently selfish, right? It is an unproductive thing we engage in to make us happy.

I’d be somewhat interested in something like a git that generates movies, that my friends can push to.

Extremely widespread mass media fiction broadcast are sort of an aberration of the last 75 years or so. I mean, you’d have works in ancient times—the Odyssey—that are shared across a culture. But, that was still a story customize by each teller, and those sorts of stories were rare. Canon was mainly a concern of religions.

It’s just for fun, we give it far too much weight nowadays.
