I’m rewatching some older sitcoms and the laugh track is so odd to me. I remember thinking nothing of it growing up, but now that I’ve been watching sitcoms without it, it feels completely pointless. Who thought it was a good idea and why?

I seen a video once where a sitcom writer explained but I cant remember all the details, He said that when studios showed new sitcoms to groups they performed better when a laugh track was added something about it inducing a positive response from audiences. He also said there is evidence that shows with laugh tracs have higher ratings.
After all laughter is contagious
