    Exactly this. Your average American and even average internet user can only ingests the most basic media and information necessary to keep the office small talk going. They are not invested in the nuances of any of the really pressing topics we all punish ourselves with.

      I know so many people who’s life cycle is just work-binge watch some show I’ve never heard of even though it’s in its 13th season now apparently-sleep-maybe get drunk and watch sports, and that’s it.

      We give people shit for watching fucking “BreadTube” but the worst of that shit is still probably more intellectual stimulating than the 18th season of Doctor Sexy-Pants MD or Real Nanny’s of Tallahassee.
