It's not about demonizing the person sharing. It's about the feeling of being overwhelmed because there's so much shit you haven't seen and will never see. You will never have enough time to get through that list and that can feel bad.

Yeah that’s about it. I also think it’s about the dawning realisation that this medium or format of storytelling has become increasingly commercialised; and that in spite of the vast hours of content available, there is paradoxically less genuine narrative than ever.
