This was known since TV.
My favorite example was when some anthropologists introduced video recording to this remote tribe that caused the tribe to immediately stop performing the male adulthood initiation rituals.
The tribe leader’s reasoning was that the kids could simply watch the video now.
Was a stark reminder of how different human life was in the past before moving pictures.
