@var.aunevik: Georges bataille thought every society builds up a surplus it eventually has to waste: gloriously, or catastrophically. Now, this is my reading of his idea of "the accursed share," so if you want to read for yourself I would very much recommend doing so! Also disclaimer not everything I say in my videos are my actual opinion. For this I am actually not really sure whether I agree with his idea, either way, I find it a really interesting and sort of refreshing view, and I will continue watching reality TV every evening, because I like it

if you’re watching actual reality tv(not the scripted ones), you can also try to identify human behavior patterns, so you’re more aware of how people act

Maybe the bad thing about reality tv is that culture wants you to be so productive that viewers end up trying to draw conclusions about gender norms, relationships and racial dynamics from semi scripted drama.

I like your idea a lot and you build your argument really well 🙌🏻 However I think we should be critical of reality TV due to its tendency to exploit its participants who are often young, hungry for fame and/or lower income. The production puts them in these highly manipulated, dramatic situations (while manipulating OUR feelings as well) but then does nothing to protect them from possible backlash or negative consequences of fame. Historically speaking, at least. There’s a really good substack called ”The anti-reality TV essay every woman should read” if you wanna explore this perspective further! I’ve nothing against the genre really but think it is not entirely harmless…

Reality tv often makes us want to consume more. As long as you realize this and stave against it it’s neutral
