You know, profile writers are not paid well.
The world went a different direction.
It's much cheaper and faster to make a stupid fucking TikTok than write a 50-page profile about someone that's careful and intricate and well-written.
And I believe...

The world is desperate for some stuff like that.

And everyone makes the junk food comparison because it's a perfect comparison.
Like junk food got to where it was because it's been optimized for us to want the most of it possible.
whether or not it's good for us it's obviously horrible for us it's the same thing with most content and everyone knows this in their gut and we all want something more carefully created and i think profile might be perhaps the ultimate expression of that if a documentary is like the ultimate profile maybe that's even harder than writing a profile
