    “They didn’t want the shows to be too interesting or plot-heavy (aka “normal”) that it distracted the viewer from their ‘primary screen’ of their phone. The streamers wanted to ensure that the viewer kept the streaming service on for as long as possible, something simply playing in the background and not intruding on their social media scrolling.”
