The central argument of this essay was the relationship between the television producers and fans. These two parties were interdependent. Fans expressed their opinions and suggestions to television writers and scripters. The feedbacks from fans were very valuable to the production of television. For example, the production process in the shows. With feedbacks, producers would be more easy to produce TV programs that satisfy the wants from fans. Therefore, the TV programs would have a better result. They would become popular in the public.

I agree with the writer argument. As the writer mentioned that TWoP which was a platform with fans feedbacks on the TV programs. Reviews, suggestions from viewers were important to the producers because this information could enhance the production quality of the TV show. The producers should be thankful because they did not have to do research about fans' favorite. They work as a free labor force.

I think argument was important because it involved labor force issue. Some fans might think that their free labor force was worth it. It was meaningful and fun. They enjoy giving different feedbacks to producers in order to be a part of the TV programs. Fans thought that it was very proud. They might think that if the TV programs use their ideas, they were part of the production team in the program. Fans had a chance to get closer relationship to their favorite TV programs or celebrities. However, fans could not get profit from producers with their works. Their productivity income could not be received. It might be a bit unfair to their productivity that fans worked with their ideas. These duties should be done by producers or scripters. It was unfair to the fans as a labor force.


It might raise another question. Producers from the television programs were hard to share the profit to fans who had contribution with ideas because it was hard to court how many profit share to the fans parties. TV programs production were different from the News channel. For example, the local news Apple Daily. Apple Daily would give amount of money to the people that provided good pictures and news. Yet, TV producers could not. Fans were a huge number. If there were a lot of fans argue that they had contributions in the TV programs, it was a serious problem to TV producers.
