Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment.

I’m far far far from a younger consumer, and I find that I too have moved almost entirely to online content, mostly in the form of True Crime podcasts and YT channels, History Documentaries, etc…

Especially in non-fiction content, there’s pretty much nothing that paid TV can offer that Social Platforms cannot. It’s the only place where I think this whole internet experiment is actually working as intended; the democratization of knowledge.

I don’t know that I would say “as intended” but it is better than live TV, especially in the educational department. Neil Degrasse Tyson’s yt channel is better than anything on the discovery channel these days. Countless podcasts are better than anything on the history channel. I don’t think they even try to do history anymore. They just air pawn stars reruns 24/7.

  I remember a time when the discovery channel, the science channel, and Animal Planet actually had stuff worth watching. I’m pretty sure they’ve replaced it all with garbage reality TV since the business model of cable is basically filling the airwaves so Boomers don’t realize they’ve been paying for something they aren’t watching anymore and finally get around to calling to cancel.

True Crime podcasts and YT channels

Female detected! I joke, but I don’t know any men into that content, and I’m ceaselessly amazed at the variety of women who love it. My wife will soon be home, in bed and totally absorbed in watching white trash confess (while trying to lie) to cops about their heinous acts.

  I would make one hell of an ugly woman…
  
  I was an archaeology major, hence the history thing. And I’m fascinated by the psychology of crime.
