There always was too much out there in the last decades, and a majority of people looking for "universally good" things, reassured by knowing that everyone else approves it and enjoys it. Now it's just more optimized, we get similar content that get the most clicks, the majority of people is perfectly happy with that, and for people looking for more original content there is an endless supply on the indie side for their favorite niche. I'm not sure I see the problem.
- briga 8y agoThe way I see it, when everybody consumes the same media everybody starts to have the same thoughts. Which isn't a bad thing, per se, but it's the sort of thing that leads to political polarization and close-mindedness. Groups of people make better decisions when they have different ideas and can come up with better solutions for problems. Strong democracies and economies are made by independent individuals, not identical crowds of people.
