We once read a book called "Feed" in high school - a ham fisted anti-capitalist book. Wherein citizens are 100% connected to an internet like service that only exists to sell them products. 90% of the class couldnt get it. Even when the teacher sat down and explained the entire plot of the book they still couldnt wrap their head around it.
Didn’t Ray Bradbury explicitly say Fahrenheit 451 was about how crass and pandering television was compared to literature?
He infamously stormed out of a university discussion on the book because he felt everyone there was misinterpreting it.
The line “Jesus Christ selling deodorant” comes to mind
the way he described TV being customizable to the extant characters would ask your opinion even though you couldn't answer and they would actually say your name is pretty horrifying. I mean, I'm still going to watch Vtubers, but I recognize how messed up it is.
