As industries such as the music industry and the print and electronic industry contain things such as recording, newspapers, performances, publishing, books, etc, video and computer games development is very profitable. Hesmondhalgh suggests that web design, advertising, marketing and profit relations all contain a link; they are all highly profitable.

6)Personally, people don't focus on the enjoyment when developing their media ideas, instead they are too focused on the profit/ money side of it.
7)They create brand deals with influencers so that they are gaining themselves as well as their influencers at the same time. Also, they can create posters or trailers in a well known place in which their audience will see their advertisement so that they can gain recognition.
8)I think that content creators should be rewarded as they are the people who dedicate themselves to create media products which reach success.
