Predicting entertainment is a fool’s errand, but the vectors are clear:

It is impossible to write about modern entertainment content without addressing the mental health crisis. We are consuming more popular media than ever before—estimates suggest the average adult consumes over 12 hours of media per day (including background TV, podcasts, and social scrolling).
