    48% of people under 42 spend more time socializing online than off
    Deloitte has found that today's entertainment trends are driven by younger generations and the content they create. And that could have big implications for everyone.

    When you think of digital entertainment, your mind might turn first to online video-streaming services, such as Sling TV or YouTube TV, and video-on-demand services, including Netflix or Acorn TV. However, consultant Deloitte's 17th annual "Digital Media Trends" survey suggests traditional television shows and movies are no longer the only forms of entertainment.


    Younger generations, often called Gen Zs and Millennials, are increasingly turning to user-generated content (UGC) -- which relies on unpaid contributors rather than traditional media professionals -- and video games to find personal fulfillment, value, and meaning.

    I totally believe this and Clutchfans is a great example of that.

    Like with AI and the internet itself this is another double edged sword. The ability to get entertained and interact with others remotely is great for people spread out. I wouldn’t be able to keep up with Houston Sports and community without Clutchfans and even though I haven’t lived in Houston for decades I still feel very close to the city. It was also invaluable during the pandemic when we weren’t able to socialize and enjoy the company of many others in person.

    At the same time spending more time remotely interacting than in person has led to many social problems. Many have said the problems with INCELs and social anxieties among Millenials and Gen Z are because they spend so much time online that they don’t know how to deal with people away from that.

    Wait. Is this news to anyone? Did anyone not know this already?

    How much ****ing money did Deloitte waste to determine that "television shows and movies are no longer the only forms of entertainment"?

    I too "socialize" a lot through discord to play video games with friends across the world AND in-the-video-game via headset. It's very similar to socializing via apps to HOOP in the REAL WORLD.

    They're called strip clubs and hookers, they've been around for a while.

    The internet has made it easier than ever to stay in contact with people that don't live close to you, but its made people less social than ever in US History.

    Profound selling point to leaving the house and will change the way you look at the world: 95% of women you see in public have had genitals in their mouths.
