My conspiracy theory of choice is that Charlie Brooker is actually a time traveller and delivered a more polished, better written version of the future he visited some years ago in the form of Black Mirror. We are living in a TEMU Dystopia.

This is an excellent thread—and it reaffirms my feeling that there was a fundamental break in the last 20 years surrounding the cultural emergence of Silicon Valley that altogether altered how elites think about themselves, their responsibility, and their wider publics. They just don’t care.

Do you mean “can the arts business model survive monopolies?” Half of the story here is of concentration of power in a quasi-monopsony (eg Spotify) and a de facto monopoly (LiveNation). That’s what’s actually killing the arts.
