Things that aren’t coming back - irony - insight porn - premium mediocre - ‘blue collar tv’ style comedy (Larry the cable guy etc) - USA network style ‘blue sky tv’ (Psych, Burn Notice) - “startup culture” as a thing (though startups will continue) what else?

Earnesting. Everybody is now super earnest. Nothing is trivial, everything is important, interestingness is for frivolous middle aged Gen Xers. Young people will read 100 papers on the chemistry and physics of how paint dries, inbetween carefully perfected tiktok dances.

Probably for the better. One of my friends claims to have stopped reading anything you write after he outlined one of your books point by point and realized everything in it was wrong. That style of writing isn't conducive to saying true things IMO.
