Contestants of The Sims Spark'd

@Marduc_Plays Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I am not in the demographic audience for this but still. Trying to survive, ya know. But as I really never come in contact with any simmers IRL there might be a way for me to enjoy this. I'm just struggling to find the way and made this thread to maybe have some advice. So far it seems that there is like 0.1 percentage of us on the forum who are genuinely interested and happy about this. That's who I am trying to reach even though I know that by not following social media I'm totally left out on all this maxismonthly, letsplay, gamechanger bla bla bla content. I know they wont care about me, because with buying their new content I always silently approve of all of this. Now before lashing out completely or getting depressed about this, I try to catch up/understand.
@StrawberryYogurt I agree fully that it would be more interesting to see eg. a show where the contestants would be on a totally different sides of gameplay: a storyteller, a builder, a micromanager perfectionist, a total newbie to the game and a casual player. Total nobodies and one single shining influencer? Like the olympics could have one average person competing just for reference - here we would have one single simmer who can do this for a living and others just working hard and showing their best. That could be fun. Just for example. Like there would actually be more content there for us who appreciate the franchise for it's elasticity to fit different players, play styles etc. But now it all feels so shallow for just copying an old reality tv format (you have 2 hrs to complete this task whatever it is and then you get judged and someone cries and then tune back next week for more drama!) I am european and though we have a lot of this copied already on our media but the squeezing out the drama for scripting in the US is really disturbing. Now we are trying to find a winner in a game that you can not "beat". That's just somewhat off for me.
But nevertheless, still reaching out to someone to help me try to comprehend this (I don't even know what to call it) marketing idea/e-sport/reality tv/Spark'd/thingy.
