@mattklewis@dmataconis Agree with Matt 1000%. Entertainment is about money, not social welfare. -
@HollyASwanson Who cares about "social value" that is not an objective notion in any case. If you don't like it, don't watch@mattklewis -
@dmataconis@mattklewis Social value in entertainment (tv, movies) is tied to profit. If it doesn't make money, it doesn't air. -
@HollyASwanson Nothing wrong with profit. And if it doesn't make money why should it air?@mattklewis -
@dmataconis@mattklewis That's the interesting thing. The industry has to accommodate a mass market - not a target market. -
@HollyASwanson And the mass market has spoken. The fact that you might not like it doesn't mean the masses are wrong@mattklewis -
@dmataconis@mattklewis That mass market is in free fall this year. Studios are not raking in the dough they need. -
@HollyASwanson But that has more to do with people choosing to consume media at home rather than in theaters than it does@mattklewis - 5 more replies
