My point is more than political messages by media institutions has worn incredibly thin.
Look at the viewing figures for Dr Who. It's still in real danger of being axed permanently by the BBC (selling rights to Disney at this point is an interesting move).
It's a good illustration of the point that the public is fed up of this top down thinking and making programmes with a message rather than always keeping your audience front and central in terms of how you appeal to them.
The later series have catered more to the diehards rather than family entertainment.
Certainly DS loved the older episodes and happily wants to watch again but says Jodie Whittaker is rubbish. And that's a real shame.
It was a bit of a shallower point than yours.
But yeah, it's about understanding and listening to your audience ultimately, rather than moralising at them.
It just doesn't work. People won't watch something they can't connect with. Same way they won't buy newspapers that print stories that don't interest them or concern them. Same way you don't click social stories or follow people that don't draw you in to begin with because it's your pre-existing priority/concerns.
