Overall, consistency, user control, and actual UX innovation are in decline. Everything is converging on TikTok—which is basically TV with infinite channels. You don’t control anything except the channel switch.

This… “trend,” let’s say, is bad. I’m seeing it myself: media consumption apps are turning into glorified magazines, trying to push you to consume media they think you might be interested in (or have an incentive to have as many people as possible consume), rather that what you actually want to consume. That get’s buried in carousel that you need to scroll to, or search screens populated with random junk until you start typing in full what you want to watch. It’s awful, and it makes these apps unusable.
