——Hey, every little bit helps.
Don’t underestimate 1. The financial incentive for ANYONE to
do these shows in the first place, which is linked to
2. The free publicity for both the business enterprises portrayed in the show (like the “good ones” I mentioned) and the “celebrity” of some of the principals, which can be parlayed into personal appearances on OTHER TV shows, and meet-and-greets based on the flimsiest of pretexts. Ultimately, of course it’s all about $$$$$$ for all involved, and that starts with finding willing participants who can conceivably garner an initial 15 minutes of fame, and extend it into 15 months, or 51 months, at which point they become legitimate “celebrities”
with recurrent interviews, book deals, cameos in movies, etc. etc. It’s all just the apotheosis of the celebrity culture, with the new ingredient of the “common man celebrity”, who starts OUTSIDE of showbiz,being introduced into a new infinitely expandable definition of showbiz.
