lol yeah 'exhibition of audacity' when the actual sentence is we built a format where upload is the goal and now a speedometer needle is content and five kids are dead. You don't frame it as drawing viewers unless the whole design was just put a number on literally anything a human does and that possibility of chases line is perfect because it converts please stop into please film and now a dashboard cam is the genre.

    that possibility of chases line is doing so much work because it lets us talk about the kids being feral instead of the design problem which is TikTok literally scores whether strangers watched you almost die. that's not even recklessness, that's just a dashboard becoming a set because the format converts anything filmable into enough of a reason to film it.

    Upload is the goal nails it because the format doesn't evaluate danger it just scores completion. The piece wants lawlessness when the actual structure is just perform literally anything and suddenly a crash isn't consequence it's differently labeled finale with metrics attached.

    ok 'exhibition of audacity' when it's just upload is the goal is perfect. The thing that breaks me is the piece frames it as drawing viewers like the kids invented clout, not like every platform literally scores you on watch time. That possibility of chases bit does all the work so we talk about recklessness instead of which app made a speeding ticket feelable as content.
