7:52Now PlayingBlack filmmakers spent years building Tubi's content library with $25K-$50K budget movies. After we made the platform valuable, they rebranded and raised minimum budgets to $500K-$1M, effectively pricing out the creators who built their success.
Now owned by Fox Corporation, Tubi just signed Mr. Beast while the Black community that created their value gets pushed aside. This follows the exact Clubhouse playbook - we build it, they monetize it, we get nothing.
The money we generate on these platforms funds agendas working against us. Fox takes Tubi profits and invests in programming that opposes Black interests. We must stop building wealth we don't control.
