Paul: a couple of things...

No one is forcing you to watch their bullshit (anyone’s bullshit)

Paul Krugman won the Economics Prize in honor of Alfred Nobel because he observed that trade is highest between countries that produce and consume the same things. This feature of economic systems ran counter to the accepted model that materials flow in counter balanced trading networks. That old model was wrong, but what Krugman really pointed out was an often under appreciated aspect of human nature: we produce and consume for people very much like ourselves. Celebrities or twitidioits or TikTokTykes are producing content for themselves. If you’ve somehow stumbled upon a piece of entertainment you don’t get, then it’s probably not made by people who understand anything about you and more to the point: they never intended you to see it.
