Default Stalling for tv time is really bad for poker

It's unfair to other players, whether they are winners or losers. Winners end up seeing less hands and winning less. Losers want to PLAY PLAY PLAY and not wait. This is especially important to them if they are stuck badly.

Pros might feel a pressure to respond to others stalling by using their own stalling. The reason is that they will end up with a low % of tv time if they don't stall. So, with everyone stalling equally, all pros should end up with the same amount of tv time. Interestingly enough, this is the exact same result as NO ONE stalling.

So, cooperative game theory says no one should stall for tv time. Who can make this happen? Stalling is bad for everyone in the long run.
It's become bad for me too, because players in live casinos tend to unconsciously copy what they see on tv, and I see a lot of players stalling all the time in routine situations.
