China, India, Africa and others will probably develop to the point of "producing as much media as the USA", but I highly doubt they'll simultaneously make a major shift to English for it
I think NA+EU+Commonwealth will remain an interesting rich market, so they will make it accessible to them, like the recent Chinese video game Black Myth Wukong, for example. Also India already produces a lot of movies with English version, and there are large parts of high demographic growth countries speaking English in Africa, for example Nigeria, projected to be 500M of people by the end of this century.
Yea but that's media media, this thread is about User Generated Media
Good point, but I think it's possible Indian and Nigerian, for example, user generated English content, will compete with USA's. Cultural bubbles may remain, but the internet in some ways also make them more porous.
When Indians want to chat online, I don’t think they’ll speak English with other Indians.
They may actually use English if they don't have the same native language, many have another native language than Hindi. Also if they want to be readable more easily by the rest of the world like I'm doing currently.
