Giant corps owning the media companies in the 90s affected you a lot - whether you noticed it or not.

Pre-Telecommunications Act was nothing like Post-Telecommunications Act. Things actually changed. In the early 90s, you could complain about the media being owned by just fifty companies. Now imagining that many media companies seems mythical.

It was also the beginning of automated content, with the "Jack" radio format.

Trivia: if there hadn't been rules against media consolidation, ABC and NBC would never have have been forced to split up.

Why are YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/Twitch/OnlyFans channels, podcasts, and other online media businesses not considered media companies?

The same reason television programs aren’t television networks. They all have to play by the platform’s arbitrary rules or their show will get unalived.
