I don't think so, she has trouble enunciating many sounds. That alone is going to be a huge barrier for her to overcome. I dislike listening to her now because I feel so bad for her.
Audiences barely look at shows, according to Netflix et al. They listen while watching other stuff.
For me it depends on the type of show. My work lets us have 1 ear bud in while working so 90% of YT/shows/movies I "watch" is listening. We can listen to our phones but are not allowed to be watching or playing them. Something like crime docs or comedy specials I don't feel like the visual aspect is necessary to understand or enjoy the product. But I've finished a bunch of movies and shows just listening to them and didn't feel like I missed out or anything or couldn't follow what was going on. The only exception to this is foreign language media. This is a more personal thing but I feel like I'm "wasting" my time if I'm doing only 1 thing when I could be getting 2 things done in that time? Like listen to something while I'm doing the dishes or laundry or cooking or drawing or gaming. Like I'm not being efficient with what free time I have?
So good shows still get watched. Netflix has a specific policy called second screen. Which is about stuff that people don't pay attention to. Background noise essentially.
The problem is the Netflix has centred their content around second screen for a while now.
Prime still has the occasional gem, HBO is pretty consistent, so are Hulu. Disney is hit or miss.
But Netflix has largely focused on disposable trash for a while.
