People do like reality TV. This blog is more of a personal opinion and not a broad general statement. These shows make money, have viewers, and are entertaining. If you don't like them don't watch them.

I do not think he is focusing on the money been Made from them, but the Value been added to those who spend time watching.
So he's just implying that I am morally inferior for my choice in television show? What an absurd position to take. If you don't enjoy reality TV that's fine. But to imply I made a poor life choice by watching the voice is ridiculous.
I am not implying that at all!! LOL
That is the same thing I was just trying to explain. You have made the difference clear enough.
i don't. but they are shoved down the throats of our youth. mtv was the first place i saw it. and then it was on all the time and they stopped music videos. i left at that time. but many new, upcoming kids, without the benefit of past experience, got sucked into the drama. and many of them thought it was real, that is what made it good.
so therefor, it was 'good' on false pretenses. had they known it was all setup, like a sitcom, it would lose it allure, as most of the reality shows are really quite dry and poorly scripted compared a sitcom with actual jokes and comedy... but it was 'real' so the lesser quality was accepted.
even today, while the fact that reality tv is fake may be common knowledge amongst many people, there are many that think it is real.
You are right that they are masters of marketing and a lot of these shows are shoved down our throats and especially the teenagers who are easily manipulated into watching. Granted, at the end of the day, we all have a choice not to watch, but the magic of marketing is really strong.
I'm quite confident 'our youth' are wasting their time on other honorable endeavours like memeing and the YouTube's. There are so many worse things for people to be exposed to than bad tv.
Yes, they do make money, have viewers (in the millions) but when you compare it to the number of people that do no watch them, it becomes clear that many people don't like them. In any case, yes, it was a broad general statement on my part.
