Doesn't seem much more absurd than the multi-billion dollars industry of looking at people pass a ball around through the TV screen. People take issues with the new and take the old for granted. You might as well use your reasoning on every aspects of the entertainment economy. Advertising does fuck our society in many ways, but I don't think its demise would be the end of streaming, or even of "react" content. |

I do. I find things like professional sports to be extremely problematic due to the disproportional rewards. It's quite demoralizing to watch people get paid millions of dollars to play games while those who get educated and become tradesmen, professionals and whatnot get paid peanuts by comparison.
Ask newer generations what they want to become and too often you get back bullshit like soccer player, streamer, influencer. It's the sort of thing that makes me think society is sick and needs to be completely overhauled.

I don't think those things should end. I think they should not be incentivized via ad money. Get rid of the advertising and all these distortions will correct themselves. Plenty of people will do it anyway for the love of it and that's okay.
