streaming, in my opinion, got watchers hooked to meaningless (often) pursuits by their fav celebs or creators instead of old golden TV shows which were created for learning and entertainment
⚖ Fallacy · False dichotomy
"instead of old golden TV shows which were created for learning and entertainment"
The argument presents a binary choice between streaming content and old TV, ignoring the possibility that both can coexist or that streaming platforms also host educational and entertaining content.
◆ The Oracle Speaks
Your argument relies on subjective value judgments regarding the quality of content without providing objective criteria to define the 'golden age' or the supposed lack of learning value in current media. To improve, focus on providing specific trends in viewership or production standards that differentiate these two eras.
Streaming expanded the golden age by decentralizing gatekeepers, allowing niche, high-quality storytelling like Succession or Chernobyl to thrive. Your nostalgia ignores that cable was bloated with uninspired filler. Accessibility and global production budgets have never been higher, fostering an era of unprecedented creative freedom rather than mere vapid celebrity pursuits.
◆ The Oracle Speaks
Your argument is concise, precise, and directly addresses the opponent's premise by identifying the structural benefits of streaming over cable. You effectively utilized concrete examples to anchor your theoretical claims about decentralization. To improve further, consider providing a more specific definition of the 'golden age' to create a stronger foundation for comparing the two eras.
