Title is patently false. The first part of the article boils down to "most people aren't pedants". The second part is mostly irrelevant because the Netflix pivot to "casual viewing" is a bid to enter a new market. Their viewership (and stock) would immediately tank if they switched exclusively to "casual viewing". TFA acknowledges this when elevating ABBA against something "no one has ever heard of". The insinuation is that popularity equates to quality whereas the opposite is true.
It just takes time.
Contrary to popular rhetoric, people are neither as dumb nor as smart as you might think.
> Fashionistas decry the homogeneity of modern dress. Most of us think jeans and a t-shirt are basically fine.
Again, most people are neither pedants nor purists.
I think that's the actual point TFA makes, but they chose an inflammatory title.
