It's not impossible. The problem is a lack of incentives.

Amazon offers 70% royalties to indie authors.

YouTube offers peanuts to indie film makers. Netflix offers nothing.

Film-making is more expensive than novel writing, and there is a higher barrier to entry. Few indie film-makers are going to stick with it, unpaid, for multiple years. If they can receive funding, then that whole paradigm will change.

Patreon made a few steps in that direction, but I think crowd-funding has limits.

If Google/YouTube were to do what Amazon did, and offer a huge royalty share of profits...? That would turn everything around.
