What are the effects of online channels repeating stories?

Well, new repeating stories might refer to fresh story concepts that are told over and over again in different forms. It could be a modern take on an old fable. Say, a new repeating story could be about a young person learning the same moral lessons in different situations, like the importance of honesty. The 'new' part could be the updated setting, like a high - tech city instead of an old village, but the repeating moral remains.

Repeating stories can potentially be a sign of dementia. But there could be other reasons too, like stress or simply being in a particular mood. If it happens often and is accompanied by other memory problems or changes in behavior, it's worth getting it checked out by a doctor.

Audience demand also plays a part. Some stories are very popular, like those about celebrities or major global events. Online channels repeat these to attract more views. If a story about a famous actor's new movie was successful in getting clicks the first time, they might repeat it to catch the attention of new or forgetful viewers.

In old age, repeating stories might be due to a natural inclination to connect with others. These stories are their way of sharing their life journey, wisdom, and values. Moreover, as cognitive abilities change, it becomes easier for them to recall and retell familiar stories rather than creating new narratives. Sometimes, it could also be a form of self - assurance, as they find comfort in the familiarity of their own stories.

Maybe they don't have enough new content or there's been a scheduling error.

Well, 'once upon a time repeating stories' are typically full of archetypes. The characters such as the brave knight, the beautiful princess, and the evil witch are often repeated in different versions of these stories. They also usually have a simple plot that is easy to follow. This makes them suitable for being told over and over again, especially to children. Another characteristic is that they usually have a happy ending, which gives a sense of comfort and hope.

Well, 'Before I Fall' is a repeating time travel story. A girl dies and then has to relive the same day again and again. Through this repetition, she learns about friendship, love, and the importance of making good choices. There's also the concept in some Doctor Who episodes where the Doctor might visit the same time period repeatedly, with different events occurring each time, which makes for very engaging repeating time travel narratives.

Maybe they don't have enough original content or just made a mistake. Who knows?

The effects of scary stories can include increased heart rate. When we hear a really frightening story, our body goes into a sort of 'flight or fight' mode, which makes the heart pump faster.

You can gently remind them that they've told the story before. But do it in a kind way, like 'Grandpa, you told me that amazing fishing story last time, but I love hearing it again!' Another way is to try to steer the conversation to new topics related to the old story. For example, if they keep talking about a trip, ask about a specific place on that trip they haven't mentioned much.
