Sure about the trending part? In past there was much less options what to consume, do, read, watch.
- nullstyle 3y agoThere are more and more eyeballs over time competing in fewer and consolidating media markets. Content trending towards homogeneity is a real thing, especially on the streaming services.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoI don't think this is right, content feels much more fragmented now. There is more content, locked into smaller premium services, catering to niche audiences. If you look at viewership, when there were just three national networks, popular shows had 10x-20x the audience. An example is the MASH finale, which had 106 million viewers. Game of Thrones finale, in comparison, had 19m.

We all have the same diverse options. "Same" being the key point here. Sure, now we have avocados, bananas, strawberries, etc to choose from. But so does everyone else around the world. The all have the same options. The options may be superficially diverse, but they are similarly diverse around the world. Monoculture and homogeneity doesn't exclude diversity options, it just means the diversity of options are the same everywhere.
