A recent Bloomberg piece on Pixar's changed strategy of "universal" content isn't just a statement about the studio's decline. It should serve as a reminder for writers, too: publishers may also choose what is "safe" over your richly crafted, heartfelt, and personal tale.
This says nothing about the quality of your work.
Keep pursuing the stories that feel truest to you.

@MLClark: Yep. Each platform and studio are straight-up targeting very specific audiences, and in doing so they're decreasing the quality of their movies and tv while chasing smaller audiences.
Our production company is running into that across the board, with Hulu, BET+, Paramount+, Tubi, Freevee, and the rest. It's weird, but it's as predicted over a decade ago.
