Not to talk too much about an unrelated topic, but the same pattern can be seen in popular music. A lot of it is garbage. It's rare to hear more than a few chords in a song. The lyrics repeat endlessly so that the tune it catchy and have many people singing it and sell many records. Sure, if you want to think "rationally" they're making a lot of money from what they supposedly love to do. But if that was truly what they loved doing, they wouldn't be putting out such shit that soils the airwaves.
