MTV’s downfall started when they got rid of all the Music freaks in the C suite that liked music and hired TV producers. Then we got Remote Control. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that was the downfall of MTV. Once those TV execs realized they could make non-music content, we got The Real World. It was OVER.
I remember when the criticism of the History channel was it was the “Hitler channel.” I’m old.
You know it is targeted to preteens because EVERYBODY YELLS EVERYTHING!!!

The major TV networks were so embarrassed by being outproduced in quality by these niche cable networks that they raised the level of their programing to match. LOL, no. They bought out all the niche cable TV channels and turned them into trash. Hurray Capitalism.
Edit: and in the streaming era, the same kind of thing happened to Pluto. They had some great, quirky programs. Like the train channel. Checked them out a couple weeks ago and they look completely different post buy out. All the tech and gaming content gone. No train channel. Bunch of channels that just run reruns of one show.
The republicans have been brainwashing their base to believe Democrats and Liberals are Satan’s minions, just pure evil. They’ll believe anything that fits that narrative. Remember the guy that shot up a pizza place because the right wing fronted a conspiracy theory that Hillary was running a pedophile ring in the basement.
Yeah, it is common to drop high school and college jobs unless it is relevant to the job you’re applying for OR it is your first job out of college and want to emphasize your work effort.
