With the recent gameplay leaked footage out, I compiled to make something that would look like an extended look like Rockstar had done in the past.

For years I’ve made the case that ephemeral content is worse than high-simulating content like reels. You could quit, but the FOMO is something “happening” online while you’re not there keeps you perpetually hooked, like those of Snapchat Stories, Instagram Stories and now, Instants.

One of the trial’s demands from the Plaintiff includes elimination of Engineered FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

State attorneys general argue that the 24-hour expiration window creates artificial urgency. Because the content vanishes, minors feel pressured to open the app repeatedly throughout the day to avoid missing peer interactions and social validation.

So please support the trial and push voice against the Big Tech Execs who have no problem letting the world which we’ve built over the course of millennia through genuine human connection, struggle and emotion, perish itself, filling their pockets more and more in the process.
