But now we are spoiled. “This is not my exact taste. Click to one of the other 500 channels or hit skip on Spotify.” Poof. Instant gratification.

Now you say this I'm wondering if this could be a contributing reason for why we're seeing a lot more entitled and divisive behaviour lately. Back when I was growing up (the UK for me) there was a programme where people could send in complaint letters about what was broadcast that week, I'm guessing on the BBC. We rarely watched it and usually switched channels after a brief viewing, but concluded that while sometimes it was conceded that maybe certain programmes shouldn't have been aired so early in the day most of the complaints were frivolous and they should just change the channel or switch the TV off if they didn't like it. No-one was forcing them to watch it after all. Thankfully I have retained that ability to just change channels, which has morphed into scrolling on by in today's world, so while I've seen things on the Bad Bunny half time show, I'm still as disinterested in it as before and am not sure what all the fuss is about because I just scroll on by.
