    Elaborate.

    On how art as a whole has improved with all this access.

    You have an issue with algorithmic capitalism, not the democratization of art

    You’re not wrong friend

    Streaming services? Too much anytime access? No more events?

  • eye contact

    There isn’t a grip on material input like there was back then

    Anyone can make anything now. Back then cameras, studio equipment, etc. cost a lot of money

    Yea but it didnt kill monoculture because in 2026 media is distributed to people the by the algorithm with the same level of control as before, there was a golden age for a few years around 2016 when we were actually close to being free but since then everything has been compromised and bought by people who only want us to consume slop and argue, its been tainted with ai, love island, Erika kirk nastiness

    Trump, Marvelvengers Slop, Iceman fit here but the rest of these are just brands, sporting events or centuries old human conflicts/dynamics lol

    I think monoculture is moreso collective opinions on pop culture/public figures and timely cultural/social phenomenons relative to that moment

    “Monoculture” is a phenomenon that really could only exist in the American cultural hegemony of 1945-2016

    It required a massive integrated structure that controlled both the channels of information (television and print journalism), the cultural media that traveled through it (film and music), and the physical industry to support it.

    The digital era made it an obsolete institution

    Bruh what

    Monoculture exists in all cultures since the beginning of civilization

    It just never reached the global scale
