You kinda just disagreed with yourself.

Every kid having their own tailored algorithm means there is no shared cultural experience by design.

A shared cultural experience means there are people in it who don't like it or don't engage with it, even though they are aware of it, and they can engage with their peers about it.

Tailored algorithms means maximal enjoyment and engagement at all times, but it's engagement with the software, not engagement with peers.

You just disagreed with yourself, the kids on america can relate to kids that live on middle east and asia

if this not shared cultural experience, then idk what else is because original post mention that most people on his hometown aware of song that got played, not every hometown on america have same experience

Hmm I take your logical point. I think I disagree with the premises though.

This sounds like parasocial connection standing in for shared cultural experience to me, but I don't really know because I'm quite distant from that kind of connection anyway.

  I agree with you that it's becoming the new normal. I just don't think the new normal is better, and the old normal still exists.
  We opine the enshittification of social media platforms, but seem to largely ignore the enshittification of our in-person social norms and culture by those same platforms.
  One of the reasons you have to get people in young (to any product) is so that they forget or just don't even realise/consider what life is could be like without it.
  EDIT: There are definitely cultural norms and situations that the current norm improves upon too - perhaps regression to the mean is a better descriptor than enshittification depending on the incoming perspective.
