Am I right in assuming that the younger demo is desirable not so much because they have more money now but because they have much more of a lifetime of spending ahead of them, so if you can get them on your brand of whatever you have much more total revenue than you would from an old

Young people typically have more disposable income because they don't have kids/mortgage/etc. So they may not make as much but they're free to burn more of it.

Younger viewers are also less set in their ways where older viewers are less likely to try new things or switch brands.

They should also run ads about how reverse mortgages actually are bad, featuring a black woman.

Pretty much....some 50 year old isn’t going to buy a Chrysler if they’ve driven a Ford their entire life. But if you can convince that 20 year old to buy a Chrysler you’ll have them as a customer for life potentially.

Yeah, the journalism-as-business courses I took emphasized that the demo was based around people who don't have fully formed brand identifiers and are going to baking their own decisions with big purchases. Kids not of majority aren't going to be making big purchases and later in life people are set in their ways and have formed their biases with regards to purchasing patterns. Thus you have this desirable demo that is making purchases (as the final arbiter) but doesn't have fully formed biases.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
20 years ago advertisers didn't even bother with olds at all, boomers are just such a large group that advertisers feel like they really know really well that they're still one of the more desirable groups. They don't give a gently caress about Gen X at all though now. Rips.

The other thing about the demo is young men are especially mystifying to advertisers and they can't figure out how to reach them so that portion of the demo is very valuable.

CBS has traditionally been stronger with older viewers.

It's the closest they come to getting a younger audience.

I think that's CBS' entire strategy, quietly air proceedurals for old people to fall asleep to and just let them go forever.

I just saw that CBS is doing a sequel to the original CSI called CSI: Las Vegas.

Also, is the Takeover tomorrow on the network or be on Peacock?

Just watching the first couple Raws after Stephanie turns on Vince and sides with HHH in 99 and... for fucks sake Stephanie and HHH have been the exact same loving characters for 22 years. I feel like it takes effort to have such little imagination.

Excuse me, but HHH was just the Game then. Since then he's been the Asskicker, the Cerebral Assassin, the Creator/the Destroyer and the King of Kings. So obviously you're wrong.

You just reminded me that earlier in 99 he cut the exact same, "I made you and I can destroy you" promo on Chyna that he still does to this very day.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I often forget she exists, but when I remember I agree with you. The bad part is instead of letting her hole breath organically WWE is going to run that poo poo into the ground for the next 5 years because it went viral and will suck everything people liked about Jax's hole out of popularity.

I highly doubt WWE will pursue the hole angle or make it into anything. If I am wrong it will be great because Nia having to do comedy hole bits for the rest of her career would amuse me. Unless the idea to shout my hole came from Vince himself though he will be bitter about it.
