'When French content creator Raphaël Graven died this week during a livestream lasting nearly 300 hours (almost a fortnight), the most disturbing aspect was surely that the grisly spectacle had a mainstream audience. This wasn’t a snuff film put out on social media — it was a popular stream with an active live chat

...Social media has completely inverted this. Instead of fictional suffering which resolves into meaning, we now consume real suffering that offers no resolution. Reality television sped up this inversion by training audiences to consume authentic-seeming breakdown for its own sake, but streaming has perfected it, instigating a race to capture attention at any cost.'

I think you could have an interesting discussion with Katherine Dee nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46q6ekpnp

Bonkers.

Not heard about this at all. Not that I would've liked to watch it. Amazed the streaming service even allowed it, I assume they would've known about it, the 300 hour stream that is

I used to watch child porn. I believe that the producers of this kind of content don't realize how valuable their principles and dignity are.

And I think viewers of that kind of content should put some serious thought into figuring out what their ideal world would look like and whether they can demonstrate the choices it would take to maintain and live in that world.

All content has value, but there are many ways to explore the same themes. Trying to censor these freaks would involve actually interacting with them. The less attention I can give them the better.

There are also people that watch livestreams where people announce their intention to suicide, and proceed with the act.

Some even cheer it on.

Humanity certainly has a morbidity to it.
