If you think about it, before TV, almost all stories were reboots and reruns. We’re just regressing to the mean.

Do you think that since every story teller can read or watch any story from anywhere and anytime leads to more novelty or less telling of bad stories and more use of the most compelling (but less novel)?

Dunno. Could also lead to more new stories due to story soup going critical.

I try and make this general point often but it falls on deaf ears. They'll say "Hollywood only makes remakes now!" but ignore how from day one they've filmed adaptations and churned out new versions every 5-10 years. There was never an era where it wasn't commonplace in film

The difference is that before tv no one saw the original. The reboot was seen fresh.
