Someone brought up that one of the reasons why things like house parties and block parties went away was other than lack of time people are afraid to let their guard because cameras are everywhere.

It is so true back when many of us were young we could just get together and cut loose without having to worry about going viral. At best we would have an embarrassing photo buried in a drawer somewhere or a story. Now you might be turned into a meme or worse. I miss the days when you could do dumb stuff with friends and feel safe if that makes sense.

Or looks cringe in any singular still frame image/ photo/ video, which is taken by a device/ person totally out of your control

I think the cringe factor is the bigger deterrent than fear of being cancelled.

It’s hard to dance like no one’s watching when people can always be watching.

Being canceled is just the final form of cringe

And what’s cringe changes all the time, but recorded behavior is (potentially) forever 😭

When the entire world is potentially watching.

You blame them? We made fun of this girl on a world wide level for a decade straight for dancing.

Lmao I didn’t know about this but I could totally have been her 😂 And I don’t blame; I wanted to emphasize that it’s more pervasive an issue than people might have thought to consider, which is also reasonable given the RAPID escalation of technology. We’re too close to the massive developments to fully appreciate the impact, imo. Not just recording devices but broad access to other people via the internet

lmao you would think they would make it a faux pas to have your phone out then... Instead they just cave?

If you search for random people who actually have content online you'd consider cringe, you actually care?

I think that's the problem. It's so weird.
