    I have a feeling it has more to do with low production cost than anything else sadly :/

      No doubt that’s the main thing but how are there enough people to watch all these channels of garbage?

        It’s so cheap to produce that it doesn’t need as many people watching it to be deemed profitable. And many people watching it probably just let it run in the background because it doesn’t need any close attention. Basically like soaps, but soaps need writers so are more expensive.

        Maybe no one is actually watching, the TV ratings system is crooked somehow, and TV advertisers are getting screwed?
