Netflix for the first time ever did a massive data dump of what gets watched and it reveals “go woke get broke” is total bullshit www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/n...

Too bad Zaslav and his bros at Max didn’t realize this, because HBO has become terrible

I think it is the inclusion of 'The Message' or a PR stunt that misfires during a promotional tour that sinks them. Haven't seen the shows but would be curious to know how much ideology is inserted.

Of course it is. The only two principles of being a rightwinger are selfishness and dishonesty.

More or less half of GenZ and Millennials don’t identify as white. It shouldn’t be difficult to understand how this connects to many shows no longer having a (virtually) all white cast.

The grifters know it's bullshit, their target audience just really likes to believe that their niche and racist personal preferences should be the default

Just because the cult is loudest, doesn’t mean it’s correct.

It's almost like...people like to see themselves represented on screen! And that a great story transcends boundaries! #notshocked

Hmm. Here I thought that shows that dealt with progressive issues would be featured (like Call the Midwife or Sex Education) but apparently just portraying lives of not-white people is what is radical enough to count as "woke" these days.

I haven't looked at the data dump yet, but as described, this is going to be such a boon to college data analysis students. Gets boring constantly running reports on state health statistics.

Dunno, I think this only deals with half of the issue, the descriptive representation, but didn't touch the content of the shows. After all, it's perfectly possible to broadcast reactionary messages with a diverse cast, specially when they aren't "diverse" where the productions are made.
