This article is so florid & pompously written that I genuinely cannot discern a thesis or conclusion.

I will say this, tho—& the author does at least parenthetically acknowledge this point—the idea that an online streaming life is "frictionless" is ludicrous.

Also "frictionmaxxing", jfc

Average Joe goes with the flow.

Nerd simulates outcomes in their head, measures twice, cuts once.

Impulsive moron barks florid threats and backs down because he can’t understand the world and calculate risk. What if he gets bitten?
