You are right, parents can still steer their children.
But in some cases like mine, parents might not have the time or inclination to do so, for whatever reasons.
I was able to discover Pickwick Papers, Hardy Boys, Harry Potter, Lord of the Flies, Spirited Away, Almost Famous, etc. on my own. If I were young today, I don't think I would discover the right things.
