We do all go to the same ~10 websites. There are some geographic differences, different sites dominate in different parts of the world. America has an outsized influence that may slowly be slipping. What you couldn’t predict 20 years ago is that those 10 websites are going to have ~personalized feeds for everyone. That was a little surprising … although we’ve been talking about the problem of filter bubbles since at least the mid 2000’s. I remember telling my boss in high school that I’m going to quit so I can go build a Google that doesn’t suffer from the filter bubble problem. Ah youth … Despite all this personalization, a collective conscience remains. Largely influenced by bot armies and professional memers. Look how effectively the news spreads when an american politician does anything. Especially around election season. The whole world knows and can’t get away. And we all know that GOT had a bad ending even if we stopped watching the show after 1 season, for example.
