Television producers become homeless | Why television is no longer fun.

why tv is no fun

First of all, I would like to say that the "homelessness of TV producers" does not mean that TV producers are actually unemployed and wandering around the city without their homes.

I apologize for the misleading phrasing, but there is still a part of me that feels comfortable with this expression.

That's what makes people homeless.

If there is one reason why homeless people have become homeless, it is that they have not been able to adapt to the changing times.

Unable to adapt to change, they lose their jobs, run out of funds, are forced to leave their homes, lose their addresses, and find it difficult to reintegrate into society, leading to homelessness.

Television producers do not seem to be homeless because they were able to keep their existing jobs without losing their jobs, but it is not the same as being homeless because they failed to keep up with the changing times.

To be more specific about not being able to adapt to the changes of the times, it will be the following two.

1. Inability to respond to changes in new systems and laws
2. Inability to respond to changes in people's needs and tastes

I will explain each item separately.

Inability to respond to changes in new systems and laws.

As any industry develops, new systems and laws are established.

So-called compliance, review of qualification exams, etc.

If an accident or incident occurs, laws will be enacted so that the same mistakes will not be repeated, and if it is considered harmful to society, a high level of compliance will be required, and along with that, the qualification to assume the responsibility to follow the law will be lost.

What they could do without qualifications suddenly became impossible without qualifications.

It is fine if they could pass the qualification exam, but not everyone is good at the written exam.

They can work, but they can't pass the exam.

Due to this reasoning, some people lose their familiar jobs and become homeless because they find it difficult to get used to other occupations.

I think that the television industry also began to refrain from sexual depictions and violence in consideration of the impact on juvenile crime and delinquency.

However, as the regulations tightened, producers who had relied on such stimulation until then were unable to come up with other ideas and had no choice but to create programs that were empty and uninteresting.

Some people are able to take advantage of the restrictions and make more interesting shows.

But for most people, the regulations keep them from producing the kind of shows they want.

Inability to respond to changes in people's needs and tastes.

The world is changing gradually.

This is because the people who make up the “world” will be reborn.

There are differences in taste among people, but differences are also born for each era in which you were born.

A lot of people are born every year, and if they grow up, new demand will be born.

An individual, himself, does not change that much.

Only the surroundings will change.

Ideas can't meet the demand of the world, but the position keeps them in the job, so the composition is that they will continue to make programs even if they are not interesting.

I don't think people in the TV industry should lose their jobs.

However, if we focus on making interesting programs, it is no exaggeration to say that the slow metabolism within the industry is a factor.

It is difficult to strike a balance between whether meritocracy is important or whether seniority should protect workers' livelihoods.
