Audience want

Another gesture study, this time more macro. No axiology in the concept phase.

I've been browsing, and I shouldn't inspect the youtube comments, because it's too in sync for all things, There was a mixture of positions that I was journaling about. Then there was one where somebody asked a LLM machine what audiences want.

"What I, as the audience, want is usually fairly short term.  Whatever drives you as a creator feeds you and may or may not be interesting to me.  If you (not you specifically, any one creator) constantly chase trends, or follow news/drama cycles exclusively, or stay too long in the same comfortable format, I'll get bored and leave, even if your numbers grow.

You and I have different goals and needs, if you want to last long-term or grow or succeed in some other way you define, you need to find a balance between feeding yourself and feeding your audience (and respecting the algorithm, and exploring, to grow)."

Then with that, entertainment companies and business's job to to test-audiences and focus groups to predict customer habitation. While myself now this demographic/physcographic marketingese. What they want to predict.

It's only indeterministic telepathy of commune. Even with the study of genre, its emergent ones and the ones that come before it, then there's a new book on writing, a new book on illustration. Then there's a new generation.

Converting viral traffic may seem sexy, it ain't the point with these long terms.
