You can't cite that, The Walking Dead has story and writing problems outside of general TV viewership declines.
I really hate advertising. There's a lot of investment in human psychology, and I sometimes find myself being seduced by a piece of advertising. They really know how to push my buttons.
It's insidious. Even news articles have paid content. Paid placement for TV and movies (Netflix is not immune to this). It's everywhere, and impossible to escape.
- munk-a 9y agoFor me the most revolting evolution of advertisement was when paid content made it's way into the content of articles, i.e. "The Circular investigates which brand of laundry detergent is best for getting out that wine stain" But I think down the road a bit we'll find out how much advertising has cost us as a society in terms of lost efficiency, it's an externality just like dumping waste into a public water source except the water source is our brain's attention span.
