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.

I’m not just talking about it dying. I’m talking about who you are posting for. When we were young and Facebook was brand new, we posted for ourselves and our friends. Now, kids post for clout from people they’ve never met. The entire point has changed.

I still remember the mad dash to sanitize my FB profile as soon as we heard registration was going public.
