This year, watching Succession or The Gilded Age wasn't just about plot twists; it was a home shopping trigger. Entertainment became a lifestyle catalog.

We are no longer searching for "how to live" or "what to watch" separately. We are searching for "how to watch while living better."

So, as you clean your search history for 2024, don't be ashamed of that query for "medieval fantasy cottagecore desk setup." In the world of Lifestytainment, that wasn't a distraction. That was the point.
