Niche media should honestly stay hidden
"or away from algorithms" Idk if it's just me, but over the last two years I've noticed that media that used to be totally hidden is getting completely ruined by social media. Anime and manga that used to be known only by people who actually understand that type of art are suddenly everywhere. Everyone talks abt them now, even people who have never touched the actual source material.
When smth becomes extremely famous, it loses its uniqueness. In a world overrun by AI slop, people are just desperate to act like they have a "niche taste." But when everyone thinks they're unique, no one actually is. They're all just influenced by the exact same algorithms, to the point where having a real personal taste starts to feel performative. Anyone else tired of this?
