The stream is defined by circulation’s crush and immanence

Evidence

It is this deluge itself—the crush, speed, and immanence of circulation—that ultimately defines the stream. Not just how we consume TV, movies, games, and their increasing indistinction, the stream is therefore also what we consume. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 203

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes the stream as a circulatory regime (what we consume and how) rather than a catalog of titles.
• CANDY: ‘Not just how we consume… the stream is therefore also what we consume’ is a tight, tweetable one-liner about the streaming economy.
