This bouncing back and forth corresponded with what felt like the first truly decentralized election in the increasingly Choose Your Own Adventure nature of reality. It presented a scenario where viewers had diverse streaming options that reshaped traditional ways of participating in and understanding the political process.
I could have stuck with the traditional broadcast-media experience, but staying glued to CNN or MSNBC felt incongruous after a campaign season that took place more effectively on bro-wing podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience.
The Peacock and Prime Video options felt like a decent enough compromise: the comforts of a traditional Election Night experience packaged in a way that nodded toward the destabilizing future of media consumption and political engagement.
