They were created to shill products to bored housewives. Less housewives today = less viewers.

Spanish language telanovellas are where it's at now, even though 99% of them are women screaming, crying and being brutalized, i guess old ladies just like to watch misery porn

Why are soaps so wacky desu? I remember watching some with my mom when i was a kid, and they'd go from a relatively normal and grounded to suddenly being about vampires and shit.

One time i tuned in to 'passions', and this old lady was batshit insane. She snuck into a rich guy's mansion, got into a struggle with some guy and i think she killed him. She was like "i didn't watch macgyver all those years for nothing, HAWHAWHAW!”

I got into it in the 2000's era during a really cool story line. Every time I catch it on now it's pretty shit. I like the soap opera genre, it has the most potential for storytelling. My dream when I was younger was to be a head writer for Days of our Lives.
