    posted out of context on the internet with brainrot edits and sound effects mocking people minding their own business because they happened to act a little funny but ultimately harmless in public.

    This bothers me too. There are whole sites dedicated to doing that, making fun of people who suffered a medical issue or accident or just did something foolish or awkward. It’s even worse now that face recog can dox them.

    Over time I think this risks driving the empathy out of society. People are click fodder for streamers, instead of human beings who probably do not want their worst moments recorded for a million strangers to laugh at. Everyone becomes more guarded, more on edge in public places. It is an erosion of the social fabric.
