I think the parent has a good point to the extent that they do like creating content for who they perceive would be vocal about what they want to see. But I think adding shows, rather than taking away content, is akin to all the companies that proudly display "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" banners but the board room and senior management is still mostly old white dudes. Perhaps with one POC holding the title of "Head of Diversity" or similar (but probably not a lot of say in what goes down). My take is that they're all just covering their bases/asses :D

Corporations are not people. They're autonomous entities that behave algorithmically based on the laws, policies, and rules imposed on them by shareholders, regulators, and customers.

For example, Comcast is unable to deal with customers in pleasant ways because rules that allow for that possibility increase costs. Rules and regulations that effectively mandate nefarious customer service are a consequence of regulatory capture and logistics.

Woke companies are unable to effectively block the utter stupidity of pandering to the outrage mobs. Activists exploit corporations that have gotten too big to manage individuals.

It's perverse incentives all the way down.
