Writing it is the easy part. If I knew how to manage the bestseller part, I wouldn't have a GoFundMe.
Broadcasting is a different animal, though. I don't have an "account" with the local NBC affiliate or their central company. They have no way of knowing whether I watch or not, or what I watch, or how much.
FB has a direct line on my existence and they are providing a service to me, which at first was quite useful and practical. They are much more akin to the water or power company than they are to broadcast entertainment. That is why I consider myself a customer, and that what they've been doing is akin to my water company throttling my access to water, and letting other people pay them to put crap into what's left.
