You're looking at this from a sort of biased perspective.

Yes, Netflix is currently the most popular streaming service, so it's naturally going to have a larger "market share" of pop culture conversation. But you're also looking at the Dahmer series.

Flip it around. How many people are talking about The Boys, House of the Dragon, or the latest Marvel shit? And compared to that, how many people are taking about The Pentaverate, Inside Job, or New Legend of Monkey? <_<

Okay, I'll give you The Boys and She-Hulk.
But there's still the difference with those shows, while popular and being made into memes and whatnot, aren't dictating popular culture and what it's talking about, its trends, etc.
The Dahmer thing being an example - that discussion is literally new to me. I've never heard so many people have this take on true crime, and I highly doubt ANY of those people put forth that much effort into discussing the topic before the Netflix program. Or the fact that Stranger Things was so popular that they literally play Kate Bush on modern pop stations -- or the fact that people tried to "cancel" Metallica after zoomers "discovered"(?) them (despite them literally being like the most overplayed band on generic rock stations? But again, they're probably using music streaming services like Spotify and not listening to the radio and living in their own little bubble).
