>>12547687>They care more about the impression of the 5 casuals that watch rather than their hardcore fansThey only care about these "hardcore fans". That buzzterm refers to obsessed weirdos who will watch it no matter what. You never have to appeal to those people because they always watch anyway. Fan literally means fanatic, which means mentally ill and obsessed.
Casual means you watch if you want to. No one wants to watch aew or pay to see it so only the mentally ill zealots are attending now. People like you who spend every waking second talking about aew online.
The issue is that they only cater to the most peabrained superfans who get told about star ratings and "great matches" when there is literally no content in aew and it's just references and imitations of stuff that other companies did successfully but without any of the context, nuance or purpose that lead to the originals. There's no meaning, only botched flips.
