Venkatesh Rao on Twitter: "I have a sinking feeling there’s going to be a winter of quality light-hearted comedy that lasts a decade or two. It’s all dark+cringe now. Innocence lost."

  My 13 yo son watches all sorts of fun things on youtube, a small proportion of which have a chance of being futurama level awesome. Are the young folks able to get the attention of those writing contracts for TV? Do they even want to?

  Maybe higher rate of consumption contributes to the feeling. Like @AIsakovic1 I am hopeful. Perhaps the light funny talents in TikTok etc. (low quality now) will grow up to fill the void
