This topic is much under-discussed, probably because it doesn't particularly serve anyone to talk about it, but we should all consider where we draw the line with clout chasing.

This reminds me of when Yuval Harari convinced everyone that wheat domesticated humans rather than the other way around

I struggle with these "inversions of control" because it coddles the side with agency

Ie.
- Humans can choose to stop eating wheat
- This dude can stop pandering to his audience

Yes, definitely. I do feel pity, the same way I would for celebrities whose lives get warped by the constant attention

I think personally while I have felt that, I feel too much pride in "poasting my own way" that I'd rather the blue moon banger be authentic :)

Sure, I'm not really advocating for sympathy (more like pity). But I think it's very useful to put a name on this so that you can recognize it. 

I think many of us have had the experience of a rare banger post, and thought "oooh, what can I do to get more of that". That IMO is the beginning of audience capture.
