Novelty
In this post, we cave to the imaginary demand from our audience for a viewing experience that is a little more … titillating.
What's the lesson here? Maybe "If you're going to be ugly, at least learn how to dance?"
Or maybe "If you move fast, they'll have a harder time seeing your flaws." This is a useful approach when you need to bamboozle some people into following you — keep changing the rules so nobody can properly evaluate you. That way, they will always be playing catch-up while you pretend to know where you're going.
But in truth, perhaps the lesson is merely: "Our lizard brains seem programmed to pay attention to wiggly things — take advantage of that how you will."
Whether by something new or something scintillating, towards good ends or not, our minds are easily tickled. Beware the tickles.
