MODERATORS
That is called reactance bias. Being advertised or pressured to do something leads to want said thing less.
I mean, there is that. But it's also their choice of things they advertise. Like, there'll be a billboard with five or six diverse shows, and they're all the sort of absolute drek I'd scroll past in the subscriptions I already pay for.
I see them and just think "I'm glad I don't subscribe to Paramount+"
