There's a lot of claims in here which are based on numbers but provide no numerical evidence. Without citations it just comes off as whining. Every screen shows the same movie. How was this different ten years ago? Twenty? Fifty? The banal word ‘content’ is used to describe every type of creative work, implying that artistry is generic and interchangeable. The greater the number of people interacting the more interchangeable any human output becomes. More people equals less granular. Five natural scientists five hundred years ago in a nation of 500,000 people have a much wider variety of capability and output than ten thousand engineers in a nation of fifty million today. The dominant company in the creative culture views everything as a brand extension. There's no explanation as to why this is bad. I think it's pretty cool Disney is building Star Wars themed hotels when the alternative is hotel-themed hotels. Indie music and alt music are marginalized. Again no citation. Show me that people today listen to less indie music than they did in 2000. Telling jokes becomes a dangerous profession. There's not even a comment or a claim on this one, just a video of one rich guy slapping another rich guy. Are more comedians facing career-ending audience reactions than they used to? Overall this is an incredibly low-effort article and I'm disappointed it hit the HN front page.
