When you watch content you consume culture.
If it’s true that you are what you eat, then it’s true that you are who you’re cultured by.
You might think you’re getting out ahead on this deal, but I know you’re being affected in small, subtle ways by that content. It’s shaping you and nudging you a certain direction. You can deny this but selection bias exists and is a potent drug. Multiplied over millions of people, this has a pretty big capacity to drive narrative.
So the question is: who are you after you consume the programming. And yeah: that we refer to a TV show as a “program” is an irony that should not be overlooked.
If you’re more aligned with creators of the programs, is it a boycott? Is it your money or your ideals that is the currency?
