I don't even know if we have a mainstream culture anymore. Going from 3 tv channels to millions on YouTube means most people aren't watching the same thing. Despite the population exploding, ratings are a fraction of what they were.

YouTube is happy to pick semi-random popular videos from 14 years ago and generic crap and [re]viralize them by shoving them into everyone's recommended feeds, so much so that comments like "the algorithm has brought us together again, see you in 10 years" have become a meme.
