    It’s not the CSuite that’s a problem. The general populous is stupid. There’s no way to sugar coat it. They don’t keep up with current affairs, they don’t have enough intrinsic knowledge of other subjects to allow for witty or satirical productions, or even just social commentary sitcoms. And if you make one line out of a series that offends one person somewhere, your show is cancelled, writers fired, etc…

    It’s easy to see where the problem is, and the audience doesn’t want it. They want curated news and media that makes them happy and agreeable. Exactly what an algorithm in tiktok does.

      That’s always been true though, and there’s always been high quality ‘prestige’ TV.

      Bullshit. You’re using decisions made by those moronic CSuits to indicate that … the CSuits aren’t dumb?? You’re literally using circular logic…

      “they cancel all the complex stuff!”, yea… because they’re fucking stupid idiots playing to the lowest common denominator…

      You’re using their bad decisions as justification to say that they couldn’t possibly be bad decisions because they’re making those decisions… Literally circular logic.
