The over-saturation of media options

Question 1: Oliver et. al (2017) state in their paper that some researchers and critics feel as though with the over-saturation of media options consumers have today, it is harder for consumers to feel appreciation for media. Do you believe that co-viewing media as mentioned in Kim et. al’s (2020) article, assists/inhibits media consumption appreciation? Why or why not?
Question 2: The Oliver Et al. article discusses some of the effects audiences have from tv. movies, etc. Now that we live in a world full of many different streaming platforms. Each one has different or the same type of content. Is it possible that these effects can also be related to why some audiences prefer one platform over the other (I.E Someone prefers Netflix over Hulu because it has better movies)? Do some have non-emotional or emotional connections to one platform over another?
