One overgeneralization I've become allergic towards is the Girardian theory of mimetic desire applied to everything. To me, there are internally and externally generated desires, and most of the external ones really are mimetic. But internal desires really exist almost anyone, yet for most people they can only bubble up when all is quiet and we're alone with out thoughts. We're so hyperstimulated that there is no space for those original desires to germinate, and that same phenomenon can happen not only for people scrolling Instagram, but also for those creating content. It's probably the same mental process through which a group becomes often the opposite of their enemy, even though both extremes are absurd.
