      Depends on how one watches TV…

      Most people have cut the cable cord, don’t watch broadcast TV, and a lot have gone to paid streaming, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc.

      All those streaming services have recommendation algorithms to suggest shows that the viewer might be interested in, and keep them hooked on that service.

      Sex and violence certainly grab attention quickly, so algorithms push those more than anything else.
