The hottest take, brought to you by Popsicle; the key to mainstream success is appealing to as wide an audience as possible. Quantity over quality. Popularity and name recognition are the only metrics that matter. How cool you are is directly porportional to the number of fans you have; having fans makes you cool. It's a negative feedback loop where the more mindless content you spew out the more eyes it reaches the more demand there is for even more content. This is the Disney Technique.
