The demo talk is all bullshit. Wrestling fans are people other companies don’t want to be seen with their product. More likely to buy their enemies advertising time to punish them. Meltzer needs to sell newsletters and the ratings talk provides a consistent section he can rattle on about during slow weeks. They provide a story that can be poorly represented and interpreted. And when he wants to make someone look good, you can talk about how someone did well in a certain demo, on cable in 2021, like fucking lol. Raw sucks, declining viewership, AEW rules, high demo, not as good as Raw’s, but don’t talk about that. You’ve got a declining fan-base, but they spend more money than ever before, so carer to them and get out while you can.

There is merit to this argument. The fanbase comprises of outcasts who do not fit the mold of society or what advertisers are looking for. On top of that, they're entitled and constantly seeking gratification. I'd say this is true for WWE fans as well. All the hate watching is simply very toxic and doesn't really paint a good picture of one's mental health. I'd reckon cutting down on your consumption of wrestling. Cherrypick what speaks to you and discard the rest. Change is an undeniable fact of life. Everything you love will change and there's a good chance that you might be resistant to it.
