Becoming what we watch

Freya India posted an interesting article on “The Free Press” website (and on her substack channel also). The basic premise is that what we watch on TV or stream is wasting our lives on mindless entertainment – but more than that some lives are becoming mindless entertainment for others as people post their lives in images and video on all manner of social media … all for the clicks. It was an interesting read. Enjoy.
