Unironically how old are you? >_>

In 1997, AOL had just reached 10 million users, and the idea "social media" was just something college kids, professionals, and shut-in nerds were into. Even then, you had to take time out of your day to sit in front of a computer.

This year TikTok alone has a billion users, and every man, woman, and child with a phone accesses some form of social media daily and can shitpost on twitter while they're literally taking a shit.

I'm 36. I exaggerated. I may not have used forums in 1997 - but I definitely used things like Livejournal, Angelfire, Makeoutclub, Blurty, or whatever before Myspace exploded. There was also always Friendster.

Either way that's not the point of what I'm saying. I'm saying that at any other point in modern history you could see equal representation across multiple stations. You're lying if you think something like Candy, Letterkenny, Pen15, or whatever have even close to as much representation as any single Netflix exclusive. The closest thing is probably The Mandalorian.
It's also the point of what I said with the paradox existing where literally faaaaar more stuff, old and new, is available right now than at any other point in history and yet people only consume such a small slice.
