The article critiques the culture of social media, particularly how influencers document their children's lives for likes and validation. It contrasts the intentionality of 1990s home videos with today's compulsive sharing, highlighting how social media has eroded genuine experiences. The author argues that the need for social validation is suffocating authenticity, transforming real moments into mere content. This cycle creates a feeling of emptiness when not sharing, as individuals become trapped in a loop of dopamine-driven documentation, challenging the very essence of what it means to be 'real' in a digital age.
Filming our kids is nothing new... The endless feed of Instagram content is just pure compulsion.
We've presided over the death of our private moments, as social validation has become our new oxygen.
Put simply - we're stuck in a Luciferian hell loop of dopamine-fueled documentation.
Being real has become just another form of being fake, often for profit and always to the point of exhaustion.
