Thinking they were cool and making award-winning movies like “Spartacus” and “Gladiator” about them?

Reality TV is never going away, there will always be an audience willing to watch people do stupid shit for no other reason than they want to

highly doubt it

gladiators risking life itself

whoever u just listed,,,,i didnt see that show

Yeah I'm guessing it's more likely that we'll have reality shows that are about voting on presidential candidates, where those candidates are the exact same type of people you see on today's reality shows (maybe even the exact same individuals), than reality TV going away.

Doubtful. For reality TV I've always wondered why anyone would watch that, can't say that about Roman gladiators. Reality TV is lame.

so does that mean we can stop collapse by stopping it or we have to let things play out because rome didn't stop having gladiators
