If we declare anything enjoyable to be “entertainment”, then wouldn’t household chores that happen to relax you or bring you joy also be classified as entertainment? Cooking does often feel pleasant, but I don’t think most people would call it entertainment.
If we call all content that we enjoy watching “entertainment”, then IMO the word loses the meaning a little.
- bombcar 4y agoThose are often referred to as pastimes or hobbies — and I think the “entertainmentification” of all (lacking a word let’s say content) has been a major issue in the recent decades. It’s becoming hard to even find a youtube video that doesn’t have “like and subscribe” somewhere in it, even if it’s not otherwise sponsored.
- selfhoster11 4y agoAsking to like and subscribe is a standard YouTuber behaviour because they presumably get a cut from the ads that YouTube runs on their channel. Or even if the channel is run entirely not for profit, liking and subscribing increases the chance that new users will see the content in their suggested videos thanks to an algorithmic boost.
