>But, much like designers fretting about getting things Pixel Perfect or photographers complaining about background composition or musicians ranting about the loudness wars - the hoi polloi just don't care.(...) Several screenwriters who’ve worked for the streamer told me a common note from company executives is “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” So? Not everything should be hard work. After a long day, most people don't want to work for their leisure. The problem is the total lack of concern for the consequences of such a passive and indiscerning audience - and of fueling and rewarding this passivity. Like how "After a long day, most people don't want to work for their leisure". True, but it doesn't just go one way. People are treated like helots and given more work, among other reasons, precisely because they "don't want to work for their leisure". Cattle are given cattle work, and whiped into it. If they worked harder on their leisure - meaning used their leisure to raise about the petty partisan politics, passivity, stupidity, isolation, etc., used to keep them down, they'd fare better.
