    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.

      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.

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

        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.
