    1. Because the system obliges every product to use advertising, it has permeated the idiom – the “style” – of the culture industry….Advertising becomes art and nothing else,

      Shows more in depth why art is never just art it will always be a product of culture or any industry.

    2. The most intimate reactions of human beings have been so thoroughly reified that the idea of anything specific to themselves now persists only as an utterly abstract notion

      This goes for everything we think about now there really isn't any deep process thoughts only vague one's because of distractions.

    3. Once his particular brand of deviation from the norm has been noted by the industry, he belongs to it as does the land-reformer to capitalism.

      This brings up the fact that you are just a product to the industry. Everything you produce or sell to your fans or other consumers just goes back to the head of the industry. Even when you leave they will still make profit from your products.

    4. Under monopoly all mass culture is identical, and the lines of its artificial framework begin to show through.

      This is a true statement every big industry has the same idea or plot on what's the best way to get the public figure t watch or consume our products.

    5. broadcasting is controlled and absorbed by talent scouts, studio competitions and official programs of every kind selected by professionals.

      Its interesting to me that every artistic thing you can think of is transformed into a industry or competition between bigger industries for profit.
