I, for one, appreciate your grumpy-old-man-ness. Keep telling capitalism to get off your biodiverse yard with its stupid parasocial nonsense. And thanks for the reminder that I need to re-read D&G
Parasocial relationship or deliberate societal anaesthesia? Jury is out for me. Both are derived from the Enshitification process, which sits downstream of greedy pricks doing what greedy pricks do.
without being able to back up scientifically, and it’s more of an opinion i would say that the deliberate part gives too much agency towards the fuckers, i don’t think they’re that smart, maybe down the line but not initially and hence the conclusion of it being parasocial but again, that’s my thought, not fact

the re-reading is the fun part, I did so over the last 3 years after not having touched their work since the late 90s.

Fair point BL. I guess we will find out. Meanwhile, I will pray for the survival of analogue and artisan.
