The realm of entertainment has evolved dramatically to meet the changing tastes of audiences from changing times. Tear-jerking and heartwarming stories that remind us of our personal challenges have never gone out of most people's preferences. However, vivid narratives from the filament of the storyteller's imagination have captivated the people who would like to free themselves from daily worries and enter a whole new world.
The realistic view that non-fiction stories provide is precisely the reason why these are able to catch the interest of the readers or viewers. The fact that people can relate with the characters or the plot may have a cathartic effect People feel that they are not alone, hence find comfort in watching or reading stories similar to their lives. The true-to-life context of anecdotes also make them less baffling and easier to understand. These have no hidden and covert complexities--just what plainly meets the eye.
On the other hand, the artistic creations of the human mind expressed through stories also lures people into appreciating fiction stories. These take the spectators into breathtaking places that they have never been to and pulls them into understanding iconic characters that they have never heard of. Some people find that they are reliving childhood fantasies through these stories--giving them a break from the stressful reality.
In my opinion, both types of stories satisfy the need of people to be entertained. Ultimately, the variations in what we expose ourselves to that matters, as we would be able to grow with these stories/ True-to-life anecdotes remind us of our humanity, while fictitious stories remind us of the depth and breadth of the human imagination.
Viewership or readership is important for a story to continue. These provide faculties for introspection and contemplation. Whatever stories people prefer, it is important to continue communicating ideas, may it be factual, or imagined.
