TV shows follow a predictable formula, because of the media. Movies too, if they want to be successful. A common saying for Movie and TV adaptations for books is 'we needed to change it to adapt it to the big screen'. Which is true. It would be really silly to directly transcribe a reading of LOTR to a movie - despite the week long running time. The media is the message, and the message is the media - if we want it to work/be effective. The marketing and type of drinks for alcohol are not the same as for sodas - for a reason. So saying some fundamental properties of the media won't impact the type of message or impact of the message seems a bit unlikely. |

Exactly. Some properties of the medium are inherent. No amount of "bad actor" excuses change that, and possibly even affect the usage.
