I'm sorry but are you presenting the opinion of a random redditor as an authoratative piece to back up your position. A redditor, who at the very beginning of the post states he did some searching online?
I'm afraid my understanding of the industry is a little more in depth than a "techdad" with access to google and his own opinion. Which he's entitled to hold, but it is based on nothing but conjecture and no actual experience of the internal workings of the industry beyond what is reported in the press or via rumours.
My opinion is based on 3 decades of work in a large number of roles, from development to post production, I know what motivated people in the past to produce shows, and what that arm of the executives is motivated by now, and I guarantee though, like you they live and thrive in the capitalist world, they profess themselves to abhor it and motivate themselves by what they believe is good for the society they want to have, rather than chasing revenue.
Not every venture by these people is a flop, not every one a success, the difference between the capitalist mentality and this particular ideology is that the capitalist motivation does not place the blame for failure on the audience or consumer. Whilst this disruptive ideology will attack it's own consumer base when it has a failure. THAT is not capitalism. That is the opposite.
