Tim Robbins Criticizes Streaming Algorithms, Warns of Bleak Future for Cinema

The 'Shawshank Redemption' star argues that algorithm-driven streaming platforms are stifling creativity and diminishing the longevity of quality films.

Tim Robbins expressed concerns that streaming services relying on algorithms to recommend content are harming the future of cinema.
He cited 'The Shawshank Redemption' as an example of a film that gained recognition over time through VHS and television broadcasts, not immediate box office success.
Robbins emphasized that high-quality films and TV shows will endure, but their long-term value is being overlooked in favor of short-term algorithmic success.
The actor, currently starring in the sci-fi series 'Silo,' believes the industry is prioritizing repetitive and less creative content over unique storytelling.
Robbins highlighted the importance of cinema as a medium for hope and redemption, pointing to the lasting cultural impact of 'The Shawshank Redemption' as proof of its enduring power.
