Good point, I hadn't thought about it this way. Will people prefer fake living in the Bahamas over watching other people really living in the Bahamas? It's an interesting question.

It'll also require actual interaction without displaying your physical appearance, which Instagram, TikTok and Snap seem to have killed.

I do like the idea of digital gatherings though. Being able to chill and interact with a distant family member like they're right next to you is pretty cool.
