Why would the vast majority of people watch a human YouTuber or other kind of charisma-based influencer when they can choose from infinite custom generated ones that always provide exactly the content they want at any time, look and act just like they want them to, and listen to feedback perfectly, and interact with them on a one on one basis?
- keiferski 3y agoFor the same reason people line up to get popular fashionable products that look the same as everyone else, when they could have an infinitely customized one for far less. The “customization” narrative is far too based on assumptions of individualism, and doesn’t factor in sociability at all.
- j4yav 3y agoThe potential difference I think is that you will be able to replace your social circle with people who behave to your preference. Advertising will be per person, rather than per segment, so that will fade as a unifying factor. I think once parents start putting AR goggles on their kids all bets are off about how social relationships with humans in your presence have some kind of primacy will fade away. That said, I do hope you’re right.
