The fake fights on current shows have me rewatching old seasons

Back then, arguments on TV seemed legit and messy. These days, every conflict looks staged by the crew. It's all about creating buzz online, not capturing real tension. I find myself binging early episodes instead of keeping up with new ones. Give me unscripted shouting matches any day, smh.

Yeah, it's all just content now. Producers see a trending topic and force a fight around it next episode. The old stuff worked because you had real personalities stuck in a house, not actors hitting plot points. I miss when drama felt like a messy accident, not a scheduled meeting.

Ugh, social media turned fights into ad revenue.

You're right about social media turning fights into ad revenue. Like @brianw64 said, it's all just content now, so they plan fights to get more views. It just feels cheap and made up instead of real.
