What is sold as culture today is just that: a product; a derivative of humanity, sold by the world’s most successful companies as a hollow substitute, but one that sells like hotcakes.

What do you think culture is?
To me culture is the shared stories, history, values and ideals of a group. So yes those make belief stories reflect people’s daily lives because they touch on themes that resonate with them.
I see no distinction between online or offline in terms of “real”, it’s the human that matters not the medium their idea is spread in.
That’s true, but culture has also been a business for a long time. What you see and hear is the result of this, because there are media that reinforce your awareness of your senses. If you think that you would remain unaffected by this, you don’t understand my point.
