The article discusses the growing problem of content overload in modern society. It highlights how people often feel compelled to be aware of and engage with the latest cultural phenomena, such as movies, TV shows, podcasts, and viral trends, in order to maintain a sense of social belonging and identity.
The author shares a typical conversation that illustrates this dynamic, where people constantly recommend new content for the author to add to their "list," but the author never actually gets around to consuming it due to the sheer volume of options. This reflects a broader trend where people are more focused on appearing to be engaged with cultural content rather than truly immersing themselves in it.
The article suggests that this obsession with staying up-to-date on the latest cultural trends is driven by engagement metrics and the desire to participate in shared experiences, rather than a genuine interest in the content itself. It argues that this phenomenon has created a "dystopian metaverse hellscape future" where people are more concerned with the appearance of cultural engagement than the substance of it.
