The other day there was supposed footage from Avengers Doomsday doing the rounds, supposedly leaked. It was in incredibly bad quality and was quite hard to watch. Looking at the view count clearly a lot of people had looked at it.
However, this is a symptom of a wider problem. People used to be able to wait for things to wait for a trailer, to wait for the film to come out, yet now people are getting excited and rushing to see a poor quality leaked bit of test footage that likely won’t even make it into the film.
This does a disservice to fans as it shows them as being desperate, fans shouldn’t be desperate they should be more discerning and only want to see the best possible version of the footage that is actually finished.
Sadly it is unlikely to change anytime soon.
