The homogenization of culture throws the last vestiges of humanity in the great media blender: selfies, pop-idols, you-tubers, reality shows and what is “politically correct” are the new model of standardised mass consumption, a sugary and disinfected one.
When the measure of one’s worth is estimated by the network popularity, a Likes Calculator is what we need to define ourselves as human beings. Once upon a time, being unliked – especially for artists – was being exceptional: something to be proud of, the mark of one’s own uniqueness. Today mediocrity is the measure of all things, uniqueness is a social crime, and people an amorphous mass that no longer meets, but swaps likes.
