profoundly lonely and isolating media consumption is
This is the main problem in my marriage, we don't consume the same media - we've tried to find something in common to watch, but mostly spend it on our phones watching our own media streams, edu-tainment YouTubers for me and Netflix/Disney/Facebook watch for her.
You can't make cultural references or have inside jokes if you don't consume the same media.
