[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 398058, member: 5079"] Largely yes, although that only speaks to one side of social media. The vapid influencer type are the terrible culmination of famous-for-being-famous, but there's another side of social media consisting of real people sharing their passions, knowledge and humor. My interest in Hollywood's output is at a lifetime low; in the last year and a half, I think I watched 3 new movies and zero new TV shows. Amateur short-form content, from podcasts to Youtube to TikTok, make up almost the entirety of my entertainment these days. Middle-class complacency , the fear that no matter how bad it is it could be worse. As the middle-class continues to shrink, that protection the 1% relies on is disappearing. The greed of the elites has hit a pathological level, where they aren't willing to share even for their own self-preservation. It may not happen in our lifetimes, but I think guillotines are going to be dusted off at some point this century. [/QUOTE]
