The Oscars will stream free worldwide on YouTube starting 2029, not on ABC

This is an experiment with a huge sample. Move the Oscars to YouTube in 2029, keep it free, add captions and language tracks, and you change the initial conditions for the whole system. The interesting question is what feedback loops you create: do you reward honest speeches, or clickbait moments. If the only metric is watch time, you will get junk. Measure something smarter and you might get art.
