I'm willing to let people say it however they want without harassment. But when they bring up the "But this guy says its this way, so it has to be true" that I get tetchy.
Things live beyond their creators. This is especially true in the internet age, where information (and misinformation) travel faster than comprehension.

People have been paying to see ads for years. Amazon has had it for at least half a decade, Hulu had it before that (though much more limited in scope). Ad-supported is not a new thing. It's just Netflix was relatively good at one point, before every media company and their uncle wanted a bigger slice of the pie.
The problem with comparisons between the movie and real life is that there are still plenty of people of intelligence behind the scenes making our lives miserable.
The world of idiocracy is basically the result of accidental eugenics. "Smart people" don't have babies, so only dumb trailer trash has babies, so the world gets dumber. That's not how the real world works, people who were born to families living in trailer parks or low-income housing have just as much of a chance to be smart as those born to the rich... as long as they have the same opportunities. For the most part, they don't, but there's a minority that still gets grants and scholarships and just luck to become the "smart elite" that don't exist in the world of Idiocracy.
It's always seemed like such a weak take to just say Batman is a rich guy punching bad guys and nothing else.
He invests in infrastructure, supports the community, promotes people bettering themselves... it's just not nearly as exciting as battling a Joker who's sliced his own face off or a giant crocodile man or a guy who's theme is kites.
Somewhere between (where he actually sits) is more interesting than both. He's clearly dealing with emotional trauma, but that doesn't mean he's not also still human. And trying to be more so.
