I am not as confident. At some point, the barrage of ads and media and intrusion will cross a breaking point. You already see the cracks, people are experiencing a postmodern disassociation with reality.
Echo chambers, doomscrolling, hype cycles, misinformation, AI/Photoshop fakes, state level disinformation warfare, propaganda, and good old advertising are simply overwhelming people.
The forthcoming fake flood of AI is the next possible breaking point.
I think some people are starting to reject media, and I think the drumbeat is increasing.

- photonthug 3y agoRejecting media is next door to rejecting science, society, any and all rational argument etc. It’s not an immune reaction per se, it’s a preamble to shutdown. Basically we want people to choose what they believe judiciously, not to get overwhelmed and believe nothing.
