The minute they started airing that crap they should’ve been forced to change the channel name.
That’d be like if I was a vetted historian with years of telling the facts then just started making shit up. The people that know the facts will know I’m lying out of my ass but everyone else won’t even question it because of who is saying
I think they just ran out of content, tried a new thing due to the popularity of ghost shows on other channels, and it really worked well for them. Then they fucked up and made it a core part of their entire business model, rather than just a small offering to cater to the “Chariots of the Gods weirdos”. I’m part of the problem, I really enjoyed the “alternative history” shows they started with, at first, but again, they went too far with a good thing.
Before all the alien crap they were known as the WWII channel. But they still had a lot of other history programs on.
The people to blame are the ones that bought it after that and turned it into absolute shit. It has nothing to do with viewers. These are the same people like (it might even be) the Discovery CEO that buys up channels and turns them all into reality TV because it’s cheap af to make.
People are only watching the reality shows because that’s what’s on tv. It’s on TV because it’s cheap.
They used to show history but nobody was watching it.
People are instead watching these reality TV shows, and giving eyeballs to a random dude’s theories over a historian.
So really who is to blame?

They aren’t even theories. They’re “asking questions.” Is it possible that aliens did it? shrug commercial break
