Agree, we will likely end up with right leaning town square and left leaning town square. And because every company seems to think they need to pick a side on political topics, it may extend beyond speech platforms. For instance I wouldn't be surprised if at one point conservative leaning viewers would migrate away from the likes of netflix for been fed up of being preached woke catechism in every TV show. And perhaps calling your customers sexists and bigots isn't the best advertising strategy for shaving products. Etc.

Netflix consumption is 90% from recommendations page right?

So they could segregate every side into their own little recommendation bubble, if they have the content range for it. Seems to work for youtube.

That assumes that content from both sides of the political spectrum gets produced. Not my experience recently.

I really hope Netflix learns from the awfulness of Star Trek Discovery.

Plenty of people love Star Trek Discovery. It’s successful enough that it’s already been renewed for a 4th season by CBS.

Please explain.

Netflix doesn't carry it in my country.

Star Trek Discovery is awful for many reasons.

How do they intersect?

Discovery had a ropey start with the secrecy in the first few episodes, but it really grew in S2, and S3 is awesome.

As a Star Trek fan and appreciator of well-written TV, I can't agree with this at all. The first season was hot garbage with maybe 3 watchable episodes, S2 was a little better but most of that was Pike. S3, despite finally being free of continuity baggage, is so far about as poorly written as S2.
