Walk into a specialised sex-store for a very specific fetish, and you'll see lots of people with that very specific fetish.

I don't think that would mean that the fetish is taking over society.

Yes, I know that some people value physical media. But most don't. Most people value convenience. That's what enables enshittification. If everyone was actually as sensitive to corporate bullshit as the people who you're talking about, corporate bullshit wouldn't survive.

Most people are idiots. What can you do?

I'm not talking about "everyone in the world," I'm talking about "more people than ten years ago."

I recognize that the internet is allergic to context and nuance, but seriously.
