I’m pretty far left politically and I can think of a number of similarities between the two parties. The dynamics are very much the same in certain cases but the ideology driving it is different.

SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it’s painful to watch.
Believe me, i’d rather be 34 than 64. There also are not that many trilogies that I’ve re-read, Probably just Dune, Foundation and LOTR.
Just wait 50 years like I did to reread the trilogy and it will almost seem like you’ve never read it before.
A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman’s Trek is like a CW show that’s written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it’s not very good.
A rewatch of “The Expanse” and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.
https://www.gmx.com Isn’t bad but I haven’t really used it that much.
I used it up to the early 2000’s and it just seemed to slow down. I recently did a series of synthetic benchmarks on all the browsers and Firefox was the slowest of the batch. It’s still the only browser left not built on chromium I think. Opera GX was the fastest in terms of benchmarking.
Never saw Pretty in Pink but enjoyed Molly Ringworm in The Breakfast Club. I also have a Kindle and am on the 3rd book in the Silo series. The other thing about e-books is that even bestsellers aren’t tracked by anyone. There are nowhere near as many books on various sites as there are movies and TV shows, but you can still find just about anything.
I’m disabled and on a fixed income and there’s no way I can afford 4 or 5 streaming services. I don’t even watch that much other than an occasional series like Silo and a movie once in a while. I think a lot more stuff is tracked now than it used to be(I even got hit for an older game) and it’s just not worth it to try without a VPN.
20 some years and I’m still doing it that way, except that I use Plex so I can watch stuff on the TV. I use Prowlarr once in a great while if I’m having a hard time finding something but I don’t DL anywhere near as much as I used to.
I think the “invisible hand of the market” swats more people than it helps.
