MODERATORS
Why is it that media is now expected to explicitly cater to the apathetic? If you care about it then perhaps actually pay attention to it.
They're not lowering the bar, they're maximizing profit. A show that you have on in the background is more profitable in terms of ad revenue, it means more screen time to show ads, and less objection if they choose to crank up how many ads are shown.
Strong parallels between this and the internal push at Spotify to commission their own low-payout "background" music that customers are algorithmically driven toward
Joke's on spotify, I only build playlists of artists I recognize, and then only listen to those playlists specifically. No more daily mixes, none of that theftbot AI radio station shit. Dropped ALL THAT as SOON as I heard about "background 'music'" being a thing they were pursuing.
That's been the case for like decades? What do you think television was? Or the radio?
