Having said all that. One of the most interesting aspects of conversations around the true version of films and such is that just because of the way time works the vast majority of people's first experience with any film will definitely NOT be a in a theater.

The case for malicious intent is extremely flimsy and based entirely on circumstantial evidence. The strongest piece of evidence they have for arson is that he threatened to burn down his sister's house but here's the thing, it would be extremely unusual for an arsonist to switch from targeted arson based on anger or revenge to thrill seeking arson setting unmotivated fires.

The “best” quality of streaming you have is Sony Core https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Pictures_Core but it has a rather limited library.

Sounds like a straw man, or at least a weak man [1], debunked, and then the debunking is falsely applied to the whole category.

There are cases were it was noted that a disease would outbreak from the local water supply, but no one from the brewery next door would get sick. This was not lost on most people, so water was drunk but with some risks assumed.

And most notably, we still see this exact dichotomy today in the third world where dysentery and diarrea are still common causes of death. And people with the means or preference towards prepared drinks often fare better.

I think the reality is that most social media platforms will inevitability create hyper-polarized audiences that do little more than generate content.
