I would say that human nature is averse to “negativity”.
For example, on television, I would not mind more educational shows on travel, hunger, corruption, diseases, etc… But even when there are those shows, they tend to be more entertaining than educational. Too much education and they become boring college lectures and viewers would turn away. I always enjoyed school so it’s not a problem for me. Most people, however, would rather have entertainment.
When you watch a movie, do you want a realistic “sad” ending or a happy ending?

Longer than it takes a broken clock to be right in many cases.
