Punk, or why I don't stream anymore: The death of hacker culture

Punk, or why I don't stream anymore

I stopped streaming because spectacle replaced authentic participation, turning hacker culture into performative signaling. AI and social media now feed us prechewed content, eroding our identity and steering us toward a uniform, corporate reality. The real world has been outcompeted by a digital cage where isolation is impossible, and the machine sells us a degraded version of our own culture back to us.
