I agree with all of you.
MTV left the M(usic) part behind a long long time ago.
It's all for the ratings. If kids today really wanted to watch music videos they would have no other option but to play it.
However, today's world is more interested in seeing how some stranger will embarrass him-/herself in a certain situation, and in order to keep on going MTV has no other choice but to cave in to the demands of the public.
Sad, but true
