Part 6/8:
The Fate of Hollywood and the Cost of Alienation
Benny emphasizes that Hamill’s experience encapsulates a broader truth: Hollywood’s decline in influence stems from its failure to genuinely connect with its audience. While celebrities like Hamill have chosen political posturing over humility and gratitude, the average content creator who focuses on engaging and serving their community continues to thrive.
He contrasts Hamill's fate with his own work in reaching viewers directly, such as visiting Donald Trump’s star and engaging with fans. This direct connection, Benny suggests, is what sustains meaningful influence and loyalty—something that Hollywood’s elitism and betrayal of fans have eroded.
