I'll start: the whole social media thing of everybody having to be a "brand" and the mainstream usage of corporate language (branding, SEO, engagement, content).

Related: trying to turn every single interesting post into a media empire. I remember a little while ago a funny video of a cat failing to use a treadmill hit the top of Reddit, and then suddenly it had its own subreddit and daily posts and just like that the magic was completely squeezed out in the pursuit of riches from viral fame

God pretty much everything related to social media, influencers, etc is just garbage

    I've given thought to the idea of communes but they usually have some weird religious undertones or their own inherent problems. Small communal living like that would be ideal, tho. I kinda admire that Maine hermit guy that just said fuck it and went and lived in the woods for close to 30 years.
