"culture industry"

Imo culture and industry are mutually exclusive.

Why? Movies aren't both culture and industry?

Well, yes, and because of that they are getting worse over time. There are still good movies, but the percentage of crap grows.

Games too are kinda both and since capitalism realized the earning potential, a lot of them turned to mtx shit.

Once stuff gets made by suits, it's shit.

I can see that. I’d say that culture is the societal structures (that essentially set norms and guide things) and in our economic system are basically set by industrial decisions. So it makes sense.
