Exposure to different things makes us better people, more open to other ideas. If the possible media consumption habits create epistemic closure, will that create a less open society in the long run? Just something to chew on.
That radio dial never changes either. Hopefully the newer generations can be exposed to other things while not forgetting the core problems as well. Or else they just stay in their own bubble as is what is happening now. It's just a different bubble.
