It's a working formula because showrunners and writers are endlessly replaceable and disposable. Behind every guy with a dream and outline for the next big hit...there are about a thousand more behind him waiting fir their big chance. And about 100K more behind them with a vague idea and willingness to try.

The fact that there are soooooo many people willing and waiting to get in the industry and make their concept real means the studio execs can be as callous and uncaring as they want because "People who want to make their Show" is the most perfectly renewable resource on Earth. You can fire ten of them today and replace all ten tomorrow. So it inspires a level of arrogance in the executives that it really doesn't matter who they hire as long as they keep the revenue flowing. it doesn't matter how shitty they treat them since no amount of bad treatment is going to have others walking away, they will all jump at the opportunity to replace the last guy that was treated like shit.

That is something a lot of the current youtube pilots have that I noticed. The whole
>reviews say stuff like "I'm so proud of you" rather than "This is a good cartoon."

Which is a lot of things lately, they just congratulate the creator for creating it, with no commentary on the cartoon being worth watching at all. Like the fact that it exists is all the merit is should need and existing is the only reason why it should be picked up by some big studio and made into a full series.

I really hate how the angry old boomers were right about the participation trophy generation.
