I like the comment, but how is this different pattern of information consumption than, say, buying your favorite zine, compared to reading a newspaper or whatever Condé Nast says is worth printing?
Of course, we have new modes of distribution and production, but whose to say Tik-Tok can ‘define’ what you want in order to give it? (A la. You can have any color you want so long as it’s black).
So there are people who watch broadcast TV or what’s “hot” or “trending”, or other well defined products (Star Trek, not Star Wars, parody fiction).
And then there are people whose entertainment involves choice, refinement of taste, and discernment. Plus a bit of the more plentiful Star Wars parody fiction.
