What scared a blind guy enough to made a 30 minute movie?

Are you being quietly flattened by the internet? We live in a golden age of content — more than we could ever consume. But while we obsess over what the algorithm serves us, we never stop to ask what it's doing to us. In this video, I explore the concept of Human Enshittification — the idea that the same cycle that's hollowing out our digital platforms is hollowing out us too. From niche culture and creator burnout to algorithmic identity and the death of authentic community, this is a conversation about what we're trading away for convenience, and whether it's worth it. 📌 What we cover: → Who is your "digital self" — and is it really you? → What is Enshittification? (Cory Doctorow's framework, applied to human beings) → How the algorithm prunes your multitudes into a neat, monetisable niche → The forgotten cookies — a history of art, culture, and what we keep losing → AI-generated content and the end of the creative process → Marc Andreessen's digital utopia — and why it's a trap → The loneliness epidemic hiding inside our hyper-connected world → How to protect your autonomy and celebrate your weird, messy, real interests This isn't a doomer take. It's a real conversation about intentionality in a world designed to make you stop thinking. Human Flattening should never be complete. ------- If this made you think, don't hit subscribe — go talk to a friend about it instead.
