society is spiraling and culture is a wasteland. i know this because i looked and most people prefer things that are fun and easy, making fun and easy things extremely popular. this is the first time that’s ever happened, historically.
in order to get people to enjoy things that are challenging, i will find the people who are enjoying fun and easy things, and i will tell them how cringe and stupid they are
where relevant i will pirate fun and easy things, the better to explain why they are cringe and stupid
if i accidentally find myself enjoying those things, i will find ways to make them difficult through essay writing

until the internet everyone read the densest prose and trashy movies and shows were extremely unpopular, i checked and have sources all of which agree with me so you can take my word for it
