Thanks for the thoughtful article/read. Two aspects contributing to this are the “whataboutism” I see across social media and the rise of cancel culture.
For the former, if I see a post about a specific thing, there’s invariably people in the comments saying “well what about [this other thing that wasn’t mentioned that I like and now I feel left out of the conversation]?” There’s a general push by the masses to make all things, even niche content, feel relevant to everyone—resulting in a boring sludge of generic material for the sake of trying to make everyone feel included.
