How is there possibly this much market for this shit?

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 20 points 8 months ago

It happened during the 08 writers strike. Reality Tv is cheap to produce and requires minimal writing.

[-] Letto@reddthat.com 13 points 8 months ago

I have a feeling it has more to do with low production cost than anything else sadly :/

No doubt that's the main thing but how are there enough people to watch all these channels of garbage?

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's so cheap to produce that it doesn't need as many people watching it to be deemed profitable. And many people watching it probably just let it run in the background because it doesn't need any close attention. Basically like soaps, but soaps need writers so are more expensive.

Yeah, that’s my brother. Every time I visit, he seems to have some new reality show he watches. Somehow he’s always surprised I’ve never heard of I t and am not interested in it.

It’s always on in the background and no one pays attention unless the ice starts cracking under the truck, or the survivalist misses his airdrop, or some manufactured drama hit the fishing boat or whatever. He’s a pretty active guy, so I’ll bet most of the time these reality shows are going, there’s no one even in the room

Maybe no one is actually watching, the TV ratings system is crooked somehow, and TV advertisers are getting screwed?

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Lowest common denominator does better, casts the widest net and the morons eat it up

Most people don't have standards.
