> But 95% of film and tv is terrible and it keeps getting made. As the amount of things being made seemingly have increased tenfold, while the amount of watchable stuff seems at best to stay level, I say the figure is probably closer to 99% as we speak. And the overzealous eagerness to retell already successful stories, but with the message[0] forcefully attached, is causing noticeable political fatigue in increasing portions of what could have been the mainstream demographic. But the fact that they keep doing on it, implies they think it makes financially sense? Anyone got any more background on what’s going on behind the scenes here?

Yeah I realized a while back that the quantity of content that is being created is largely due to the fact that many more demographics are being targeted widely now. As a white 20-40 year old guy 50 years ago nearly 100% of the mainstream content was targeted at me or my family. Now that number is lower. I don't think its drastically lower but lets say its 80%. That means at least 20% of the content that is being created in 2022 I'll pop on and go, "Eh. Not for me." Which is great. Because for someone else who has been watching content not targeted at them their entire life they turn on and go, "Holy shit this is exactly what I want." Easy way to make that content? Just retell the same stories and change things around a bit so other demographics can relate to it.
