Anyone else seeing an uptick in unnecessarily dangerous ski videos?

I know this isn’t east coast-specific but I’m from VT originally and wanted to know your guys’ thoughts. I was up hiking by the Maroon Bells last week and you couldn’t pay me to ski that shit. Rotten snow and crazy amounts of rockfall like this mean one mistake is instant death. All over Instagram and YouTube I’ve been seeing guys underprepared mountaineering and skiing dumb stuff like this in Colorado for no reason. It doesn’t even look fun. What’s behind this new wave of idiots in the sport?? Are you guys seeing this where you’re from?
