That would be a good idea, but probably too much of a risk for studios. They want safe and easy money makers.
Portions Are A Lie
If you want to join the discussions in the Daily Dose of Reddit community, the overarching rule is simple: Keep it chill. However, you’re also not allowed to post selfies, spam, spoilers, or overly offensive “edgy” content. According to its profile section, it’s a subreddit with “fewer dumb rules than other humor subs.”

Content from subreddits like this provides a form of escapism from the toxic parts of the internet. It allows users to forget the doom and gloom of current events by offering “mindless” entertainment.
According to psychologist Dr. Ashley Olivine, it’s natural for people to seek escapism as a way to either cope with traumatic situations or memories, manage challenges, and relieve stress.

Hold Up
Dr. Olivine emphasizes that escapism through daydreaming and online scrolling can be beneficial but requires intentionality and moderation. As she points out, doing it in excess has its drawbacks, which can affect a person’s quality of life.
“Escapism may also cause withdrawal from social relationships, marked by friends or family noting decreased connection or missed social events,” Dr. Olivine wrote.

I Never Noticed Before, But It's True
I Would Watch It
Regarding the benefits of escapism in one’s life, Dr. Olivine says it depends on the chosen activity. She urges engaging in physical activity and getting lost in a book, for example, rather than spending too much time on social media or doing random shopping sprees that may lead to overspending.

When people compliment my dog, I say "Thank you, he takes after me, clearly" XD
Dr. Olivine also noted that it is important to determine whether your chosen form of escapism is healthy by considering your motivation for doing it.
“Exercise, such as running, is a healthy form of escapism if your goals are to increase positive emotions and promote well-being. Exercise as an unhealthy form of escapism might involve doing so as a form of punishment.”

Waffle House
Waffle House is best at 2am after you've been drinking. A bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, plus hash browns smothered and covered. (with cheese and onions) It really hits the spot. Sadly I haven't been to one since college - they don't exist in the northern part of my state. 😕
