Are We Losing Cultural Touchstones in the Age of Streaming?

Are We Losing Shared Moments in the Streaming Era?

I think we might be losing those special moments that made watching TV something we all enjoyed together. Here’s why I feel this way:

  • So Many Choices: With services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, there are tons of shows and movies to pick from. It can be a lot to deal with! You might end up binge-watching a show that hardly anyone else knows about, while the big shows don’t create the same buzz as before.

  • Everyone’s Watching Alone: People are tuning in to different shows at different times. Remember when everyone would chat about the same series the next day? That doesn’t happen much anymore.

  • Feeling Left Out: With so many popular shows, if you miss out on a trending series, it can feel like you’re missing a big part of the conversation. It’s not just casual chats anymore; it’s like a new way of talking that I might not get.

So, while streaming gives us great access to a whole lot of content, I wonder if we’re giving up memorable experiences for that freedom. It feels a bit like a loss for our culture, if you ask me.
