Wait a year and see how kids get on blockchain to sell and buy GPU resources for rendering ‘trans furries’, or better analyse classmates’ stolen chats.

I can vividly remember we were by no means disclosing private info back in ‘94 only to see a world of influencers in 2024 sharing their very personal guts for profits.

It's only an extension of big brother from the late 90s, to not say real world from MTV in the early 90s.

At the end of the days, everyone wants and hopes to be an idol or famous.

...but also at no point in known history has it ever happened to find millions of people doing so in very mean and aggressive way, and worldwide scene to exploit.

agreed it IS a Big Brother of a sorts, where everyone participates to certain degree. but then written forums have been a thing before BigBrother and perhaps don't have this voyeurism added in the equation.
