Prior to the Internet, the television industry primarily relied on the Nielsen ratings. As more shows became risque, the viewership of such shows was considered. Those shows that displayed sex and violence had a higher viewership. Considering that fact, magazine covers sold mags more often when actors from such shows were on the cover.

This can lead to misinformation, perpetuation of stereotypes, or invasion of privacy in pursuit of increased viewership or profit.
