The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

maybe a too generous reading of all this is: mamdani knows trump is pretty easy to impress in person, so why not go to DC, charm him for an hour, and watch right-wingers go apoplectic over the wknd? idk, but lol
