Exactly my thoughts. People will start making the most exaggerated comments, seeking some money. I expect them to become like youtube covers and titles. Also, I expect the echo chamber effect to grow stronger.

But what if I am a 73 year-old quadriplegic, autistic, nonbinary Vietnam War veteran who was recently foreclosed upon and made homeless because my wife and son died when being T-boned by a drunk semitruck driver, leaving me without any assistance to pay the mortgage?

I need your charity, I swear.
