Could it be that you’re feeding on the misfortune of others, and there’s a limited appetite for this?
Aside from Discovery, of course.
Seriously, they're literally the problem, networks turned to reality TV because it was cheap and to get around the last writers strike and the one before that.
I sometimes wonder if the need to turn the "news" division into another "entertainment" group led to this. Most "reality television" boils down to a camera on the scene, with some faceless person asking "So, how do you feel about that?".
