Daily Poll 228: Do you watch reality TV?
Reality TV has been around for decades at this point. It’s anything but a reflection of reality but that is the point. Reality TV creates a unique world for people to get lost and invested in and those who are too weak minded try to project what they see on TV in real life situations. One of the many reasons why social cohesion is as broken as it is. I’ve watched some reality TV but stopped years ago since it’s dull and mindless garbage that makes society worse in my opinion. Those are my thoughts. What about you? Don’t forget to vote on the poll and to comment below!

I despise it. They purposefully cast the most vapid, low IQ people that can muster a personality stereo typed from mass media in order to create the most drama possible. Then create bullshit situations for them “react” to… all stop here. LOL
As a RABID fan of 80’s TV as a kid ( I despise the laziness of it all. It hasn’t changed since the fist ever version: The Real World on MTV which I watched the entire season of BTW lol
okokok seriously I will stop

can’t stop
The problem with today’s series entertainment is all data driven and if only one group is participating in the process REAL diversity is destroyed. So everything is cookie cutter and appeals to the lowest common denominator. I watch some crazy shit but the lack creativity has left me not watching anything but netflix and internet videos (from sports to news), literally.

Reality TV just never grabbed me. I remember saying, “Oh, what’s this Survivor thing everyone is talking about?” and attempting to watch it. Even that bored me to tears. It just never had a real hook that could get me invested in whatever clueless ‘average Joe’ they wheeled in front of the camera.
I remember thinking that it reminded me of watching my grandmother in her twilight years, as her mental faculties began to fade, watching Wheel of Fortune or Price is Right out of sheer force of habit. When I’ve seen friends or family watching reality TV in the years since, I’ve seen the same vacant, dull expression on their faces as they watched. And that terrified me.
