It seems like his motivation was primarily increased online engagement.
As human socialization occurs increasingly in digital spaces, will be interesting to see if there is a rise in trans people who only wish to transition using technology without wanting to change their own analog physical appearance.
Similarly, I wonder if there are remote workers who use filters like these to consistently present an idealized version of themselves professionally.
I predict within the next 20 years, having an avatar that is more attractive than your true physical form will become normalized. Perhaps some middle aged people will only present as their 20 year old selves online. I'm sure transracial avatars will be a controversial issue.
Maybe I should short cosmetics and go long on GPU manufacturing.

That's already pretty normalized looking at how even a lot of older generations are carefully curating their social media presences to make them look as perfect and impressive as possible.
