As Gen X, I don't think many young people can help it at this point. I don't use social media because I hate the way it invades my thoughts and mediates my experiences into a judgement of post worthiness.

If you grew up filming the most trivial aspects of your life it should not be a surprise if you feel the need to film something as important as losing a job.

Personally, it wouldn't even occur to me to film such a thing let alone to post it online. I would have assumed it would be illegal to film without the other side having a clue you are filming.

If I grew up filming literally everything though the idea of it being illegal I am sure would sound ridiculous and not even enter my mind. I am sure the thought process didn't go beyond this being some potentially really good "content".

The strangest thing to me is I have been let go from a job before. It is surely not a moment I wish to relive.
