Where is all this wonderful visual self expression that people are now free to do? As far as I can tell it's mostly being used on LinkedIn posts.

It’s a classic issue that you give access to superpowers to the general population and most will use them in the most boring ways.

The internet is an amazing technology, yet its biggest consumption is a mix of ads, porn and brain rot.

We all have cameras in our pockets yet most people use them for selfies.

But if you look closely enough, the incredible value that comes from these examples more than makes up for all the people using them in a “boring” way.

And anyway who’s the arbiter of boring?
