Why? What the fuck do they care as long as people watch it?

Make good stuff, and people will come.

People will leave if they don't like what they see. People won't like what they don't understand. People won't understand what isn't either simple or redundantly written because they don't pay attention.

80% of “plot holes” people online complain about is just them either being in their phone or absolutely not understanding subtext or anything implied.

Seriously. Plus maybe I wouldn't have my phone out if they didn't start plopping ads into shows.

people like the idea of liking good stuff, they do not like good stuff. This is the #1 rule of making money

[-] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

good stuff needs to go hardcore enough some people will cringe away and not making cringe is more important than making good, because getting the anthill of these people will not give me money to give you money is more important than keeping the mountain of people who will give you money happy.

Good stuff is a hard marker to hit.

Going back to 54% of Americans read at or below the 5th grade level (in terms of functional capacity and reaching comprehension), they need it spelled out.

And this good is slowly being eroded away.

Alien hardly explains anything. Alien Romulus isn't as bad as much modern cinema but explains too much sometimes

Not really, no. There have been plenty of tv shows for example that have been cancelled due to low audience numbers, despite being excellent. For example, In The Flesh, Mindhunter and Pushing Daisies.

Pushing daisies was absolutely great, was gutted we never got to see how that played out
