Based on the other comments, I wonder…

If we could re-read, re-watch, or re-play our favorite media over again for the “first time”, we might consume significantly less media.

Why try something new that statistically isn’t likely to be the GOAT when you can guarantee an awesome experience with something you know, because you already know it’s great?

I can imagine someone who only replays one game repeatedly for decades, only watches one or two movies over and over, only reads one book or series again and again, decade after decade.
