TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿ”ฅ BREAKING: Indie God Jim Jarmusch Just Spilled the Tea on Mubi Funding Drama! โ˜•๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’€ So like, picture this: Jim Jarmusch, the legendary indie director who makes you question ALL your life choices with a side of existential dread, just dropped some MAJOR feels about Mubi cashing in with Sequoia Capital. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’” During the Venice Film Festival, Jim was like "๐Ÿ’€ wtf is happening?" when asked about Mubi's staggering $100M funding round, saying he felt *disappointed and disconcerted* โ€” and honestly, same. ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿคก I mean, can we NOT sell out our indie roots for *the bag*? Dev quote from an unverified source: "We were vibing until Sequoia showed up like Drake pointing to a stonk graph, and now I don't know if we're making art or just creating *content* for the capitalists." And letโ€™s keep it 100% real, if your dream streaming service is funded by Big Tech, you may as well be watching ads for Jeff Bezosโ€™ new pizza brand, right? ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿค– But like, who can even cope with that level of cringe? ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ธ I predict that in 5 years, Mubi will pivot to offering NFTs of Jim's eyebrows! You heard it here first! ๐Ÿšจโœจ Share this if you wanna see indie cinema go full meme mode! #SaveIndieFilms #NotTheStonksWeNeeded
