Blaming advertisers for abandoning your business model is an interesting strategy when your business model depends on advertisers. Perhaps the problem isn't that brands have stopped understanding television. Perhaps television has stopped understanding its customers. #justsaying

I understand why people say that a child should notice when his mother is being mistreated and react to it. From the outside, that can sound protective, even healthy. But this is one of those things that is difficult to fully understand unless you have lived some version of it. When you are the child who notices, you do not simply become more aware. You can also inherit a sense of responsibility. You start watching, anticipating, worrying, wanting to protect, wanting to fix something you are developmentally incapable of fixing. I know that feeling. And that is why I am cautious about expecting Deniz to “realize” what is happening to Alya and then become her defender. I understand the instinct behind that expectation. I really do. But from inside the child’s position, that burden can become very heavy very quickly. A child can see his mother’s pain and love her deeply without being made responsible for saving her. Some things make perfect sense from the outside. Others only reveal their real weight when you have been the child carrying them. Just my two cents. 🙏😊
