> Maybe they shouldn't

looking at the last 4 years of world events, I think some people already have some nostalgia for a shared cultural experience, instead of everyone being in their own algorithmically and socio-culturally / demographically segregated bubbles. Or maybe it's just looking back with rose colored glasses shrug

To be honest, I'm ambivalent about it. I do value a shared experience (contradicting somewhat what I wrote earlier). I don't have everything figured out...

Arguably this existed for the limited time in history with invention of over-the-air TV and ended with advent of cable. Event before internet streaming nobody watched same stuff anymore.

Not disagreeing with you, but the last time I experienced this was much later: with HBO's Game of Thrones. Everyone discussed the latest episode, it was an almost universal shared social experience.

It seems to have died for good after it ended, though.
