I did intend Under Served, but in some ways the typo is fitting.
Did you, by chance, mean to post instead: "All under-served niche markets"?
If not, I'm really intrigued about what makes a market "deserving".

Yet here you are both reading and posting in one.
I hate these threads...
Yes. Most threads here are slums, with the same ten people broadcasting their negativity and pointless grudges, and dozens of others reacting in kind. I regret almost every time I check in to Photrio, and nearly every time I post too, including this one. It's a waste of breath.
It's heartening and incredible to me that Ilford, Kodak, Fuji, the mavericks at Ferrania and Polaroid et al are giving it a go in this challenging environment, and I support them all in one way or another. Why any of them would participate here is beyond me. Anyone with an iota of marketing experience would know it's a black hole of negativity that will never pay off.
Simon Galley showed that your observations are mostly fantasy.
How appropriate that you should reply. Any company can spend their time here, including Ilford, but most choose not to as far as I can tell. Wonder why?
I looked up Simon, who I remember fondly. His profile says "Simon R Galley was last seen: Sep 9, 2015". Change of jobs I assume, and I also assume there is a new marketing lead from Ilford dedicated to the crucial Photrio market.
Simon Galley built up a ton of good will by his postings here at APUG. That you ignore this does not change this fact.

Film Schools I can see
Hollywood movies where they are showing the characters watching - err Home Movies, yes.
SkateBoard and Snow Board Videos - Heck Yes. (it was a cult thing until e100 went away.)
VERY low budget pictures using Super 16. Maybe. More latitude with Vision 50D. Super 8 would be really pushing it. ("The Hurt Locker" is about the only successful movie shot on Super16)
All Undeserved Niche markets.
Film of any variety isn't a low budget option anymore, it''s a creative choice for those with a budget.
Digital doesn't have the film/dev/scan costs, and you can shoot 4K on your phone. That's the low budget option.
My iPhone X cost $1200. My Nikon FM2n cost $200. Which is lower cost?
Well argued. Very rigorous.
My iPhone X cost $1200. My Nikon FM2n cost $200. Which is lower cost?
We're talking movie film here right ?
Anyway, of course, the answer is the iPhone. Most (all ?) film students will already have a phone that's capable of recording of at least HD. Buying a Super 8 camera (+film, +dev, +scan) is extra expense.
Ok, iPhone X (shoots 5K) $1200, new Kodak Super 8mm camera $2700. Which costs less?
Can you talk and surf the web with your FM2n?My iPhone X cost $1200. My Nikon FM2n cost $200. Which is lower cost?

The floor is yours.Then please explain exactly why you are still here.
Cassettes? We knew they sounded terrible when we were making copies of our (friends) LPs so we could take our music with us. Nostalgic nonsense.
the dr quin medicin woman series was shot on 16mm, not a film though, just hundreds of hours of film...The Hurt Locker" is about the only successful movie shot on Super16)
