Michael Mulvihill / @mulvihill79 : Thought-provoking column here despite unfortunate headline. Trends described predate and are almost wholly separate from NFLX. http://twitter.com/... Neil Best / @sportswatch : Well done take on disappearance of shared popular culture of late 20th century, with a GREAT last line, by @fmanjoo. http://www.nytimes.com/... Caity Kauffman / @caitykauffman : oh man this is so good. Our choices in fiction also reflect our choices in news sources and can enable the same type of confirmation bias http://twitter.com/... TV Grim Reaper / @tvgrimreaper : Most interesting point is that the era of broadcast TV dominance was the aberration, and fractured media was/is typical. http://twitter.com/... Sean Carroll / @seanmcarroll : It's weird when people long for the days when there were very few choices on TV. Would they feel that about books? https://www.nytimes.com/... Ryan Vlastelica / @ryanvlastelica : It is kind of sad that we don't have culturally unifying moments anymore. Disney is probably the only exception. http://nyti.ms/2juu8Sd Pui-Wing Tam / @puiwingtam : It's not just political echo chambers. Streaming services like Netflix deepen our cultural echo chambers. @fmanjoo http://www.nytimes.com/... See also Mediagazer
