Do you know the meaning and origin of this word? It was coined to be critical of the (white-dominated) film industry that was exploiting the black audience.
How on earth do you "exploit" a film audience -- hold a gun to their heads and force them to buy movie tickets??

No, you produce cheap crappy movies that you expect them to buy tickets to because the movies convey a particular statement. I bet if you were in the film production/promotion industry, you'd be able to think of ways to exploit an audience. Your job would depend on it. Just like, in all probability, your present job now depends on some market being exploited to the full extent of its gullibility.
There are some people in the world who are not heavily armed, and holding a gun to somebody's head to force them to do something is not the first persuasive idea that pops into their minds.
I didn't make up the word. I just told you what it means.
I as well was using your word in reference to the word: Snarky
People who say it ~ make me want to GAG!!
OH, OK!
I don't like Snarky, either.
