Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.
He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...
Yes but they don't explore content the same way we do, they have it spoon fed to them through the trending pages. I've been repeating this ad nauseum because it's important to know how boomers and normies think to fight them. The corporations now are moving away from the television model and making sure various parts of big tech net are only giving boomers information they want them to see.
You see this with how massively triggered they are over Elon's twitter buyout. He doesn't curate anything like they did and is actually fixing a lot of their bullshit tweaking of the trending pages so that of course means stuff like anime is getting to the frontpage instead now. I would not be surprised if big tech got together at some point after realising Elon's a lost cause and establish some kind of new twitter.
You can't put a group of people defined by being born in an 18 year period into a category like you're trying to do.
People are individuals. You might be able to predict trends, but not individuals.
You should be addressing concepts here. Some people are going to keep watching Faux, some are going to leave MSM altogether. Try to exert some influence in the right direction when you get a chance.
Generalizations are 100 percent necessary to have any meaningful discussion about many of the topics discussed on this board. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of individuals that buck the trend, and it doesn't mean people shouldn't do all they can to help those that seem helplessly predisposed towards being apart of the trend. This is setting aside whether or not this specific generalization is accurate or not.
In my family (not the other poster) we have no ability to influence when the older generation.
They watch the perceived "authority figure" on tv, use it to jockey for position amongst each other. There's not much space left for us that doesn't threaten their sense of losing control to their "below them" children.
I've been able to convince my older family of this or that, or convince them something they're pushing is bad before, but all that happens is they go back home to watching their media and debating amongst themselves and come back just more enraged that I disagreed with their group consensus - who's fundamental center is the big screen they watch every day.
With them captured by the big screen there seems to be no room left to influence them.
True. Some people are like that. Not exactly what 1984 depicts, but effectively at least as bad.
People do that all the time very successfully and they make money off it lol. I'm not saying it's necessarily 'right', I'm actually somebody who always makes a point of celebrating the exceptions to the rule, that doesn't mean you should just blindly ignore trends and categories that people fit into.
