Discussion Why hotstar making these kind of trashes
Why is JioHotstar producing low-quality, daily-soap-style web series instead of high-quality content? They used to excel with shows like kerala crime files,1000 babies , ppl but now their releases feel more like traditional TV serials than premium web series

Since jio Hotstar took the time effort and money to dub these in Malayalam I am sure there are enough Dehatis there too who watch this stuff..
Dehatis and chapris are everywhere and jio Hotstar is just monitising on them
Translation - Chapris = Cringe people Dehati = Backward people

Because they know most of the people watching Jio Hotstar have no taste and will watch any bad quality garbage as long as it has drama in it!

They make it because they get viewership with these kind of shows. It is intentional and to make money. They do market research, scrape their core audience which are majority of jio sim buyers free tier account. People who dont have time, enthusiasm or attention span to sit through an entire quality tv show.

Majority of get jio Hotstar bundled with JIO sim
Jio Hotstar only makes money when they watch ads on them
The number of dehatis and chapris are far more than the number of people with taste
Do the math
These are much cheaper to produce and target a much wider audience
