If it means the end of overpaid talking heads then I’m all for it.

So the executives will be overpaid by the amount the talking heads made plus the amount they were already overpaid by

They'll get rid of everyone. It will just be a few at the top that already have power and money. A more efficient version of what we have today.

"More efficient" in that there is zero point to be opposed by anyone else down the line. While it's not like we're getting a lot of resistance from media workers all the time right now, real people are going to have a breaking point if things go too far in some direction. Now all executives will need to worry about is appeasing an audience, and with robot reporters that will say anything and everything, that's not a problem in the slightest.
