This. Made more terrifying by the idea that it's television that's supposedly creating the culture. I'd prefer not to live in a place where the culture was created by people optimizing for engagement and customer retention.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoBut there's no question that television had a huge impact on culture - especially when everyone watched the same unique channel.
- syl_sau 6y agoYes, everyone speaking the same language used to watch the same unique channel.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoAnd now everyone in the West (and even beyond) watches the same Hollywood movies (& series). Well, "now", meaning "for many decades now".
