This is not really comparable with TV, not even close. There was/is a relatively small amount of channels you have access to, and effectively all your neighbours and friends have the same content. Short form video took this to the extreme by figuring out what specific content you like and just feed you that - as a result people spend significantly more time watching TikTok and Youtube than they (or their previous generation) did with TV. TV was also often in background, not really actively watched, which is not the case on the internet. Now, once you put AI generated content there combined with AI recommendation systems, this problem becomes even worse - more content, faster feedback loop, infinite amount of "creators" tailored to what your sweet spot is.
