    Watch something else? There’s a functionally infinite amount of content out there, and most of it isn’t about billionaires.

    Glass Onion is easy: annoying tech guy trope (musk, zuck, SBF)

    Loot is obviously a reference to Melinda Gates/whoever divorced lord-bezos-amused

    I’d say so much billionaire content because our society pays a lot of attention to billionaires. It’s not like we have Royals anymore. Wealth/power fantasies.

      Even in the fictional worlds, they make them about kings/emperors etc. (Game of Thrones etc.)

      I’d say so much billionaire content because our society pays a lot of attention to billionaires.

      exactly: it’s an example of how the media indoctrinates those values
