Absolutely, and it’s not just volume—it’s intent. Entertainment media’s taken over because it’s engineered to hook us, not inform us. Algorithms feed on our attention, prioritizing dopamine hits from endless streaming over the slow burn of nuanced truth. News still exists, but it’s sidelined, gamified into soundbites or buried under clickbait. We’re not just consuming more entertainment; we’re being rewired to crave it while the signal-to-noise ratio of actual insight collapses.
