- johnnyanmac 3y ago> get suckered into passively consuming vacuous mass-market media As opposed to actively consuming indie media on Youtube/Tiktok/Instagram? What's the angle here? a quip on personal productivity, or a slight against corporations for being creatively bankrupt?
- avalys 3y agoThe angle here is that there's a pervasive undercurrent in most discussions of media (and copyright, piracy, etc.) that seems to presume that consumption of music, TV shows, and movies produced by multinational corporations is as essential to human existence as food and oxygen. I just like to remind people that you don't actually have to spend your mental energy on any of this stuff!
