Placidly uncaring since long ago as I stopped consuming media full stop.
- Larrikin 10mo agoExclusively consuming social media like HN for your media sounds way worse than Game of Thrones, The Other Two, Emily in Paris or even Love is Blind
- venturecruelty 10mo agoYeah, I'm not sure if the best response from society is to simply stop appreciating an entire genre of human art. I mean, I get it, but like... we can't just keep giving up more and more lovely things forever, right? We shouldn't have to. We shouldn't have to put up with this nonsense, and snarkily clocking out doesn't seem like the answer. Some of us want to continue to have a rich variety of movies and TV shows, and we shouldn't let a very wealthy few control that.

To me, media feels like something almost parasitic, exploiting FOMO and social status seeking (and yes, social media included).
