I wonder if carving out individual experiences would prevent users from displaying their use of said entertainment to create social status. So I’m coming at it wondering if people value the status that their form of entertainment provides more than the experience itself. On the other hand, maybe we’ll continue to just observe the death of the “main stream” as we all slip into our own niche communities, each with its own complex system of status signifiers? This stuff really leaves me pretty puzzled. I’m a culture guy, English grad. Art is not supposed to behave like this!!!
