> doesn't work with reality TV or televised sports. Both of those are produced with a lot of human effort

Those two types of content are about the cheapest TV to produce. Per second of video produced (counting all the unpopular content), short videos might be more expensive, but the costs are very distributed.

Totally fair. I was thinking more in terms of the rate at which people can consume it; if your primary interest is following a sport, or current reality-TV shows, you can only consume content as quickly as it is released.
