It's true that there's big problems and it's true that things should change.
The issue is that the solution that is proposed to the problem is to have more attention to the problem. This result in a virtuous circle where things have to address the problem more and more.
It does help address the problem though, it's not falling on deaf ears and it is educational.
This then becomes a kind of noise drowning out other signals. It's the signals that listeners want not the noise.
Is anything actually improved, do people benefit? I would say yes!!
But it's a move away from signal and information towards problem education and political or social messaging.
The virtuous circle can get reinforced by objections to the changes. Objections or "discomfort" are often proof that more changes need to be made. The signal is further reduced and those in change become blind in their virtue. Metrics in how good they are doing are perceived in terms of the messages that are put out not in quality productions. A kind of seige mentality makes it hard to determine the difference between criticism of the content or format and political objections of the added messaging to the content. Both positions become opposition and encourage more of the same.
To me, the change to add more unbiased views or thoughts from the other side seem artificial and miss the actual change in content. It makes things more political and less about life.
