META will be a thing and it'll become a glorified dating service for incel dudes and femcel women to create idealized anime forms and impress each other in ways they'd never pay attention to in real life, simply because they wouldn't take the time to get to know each other due to being repulsed by their 3D selves.
Hololive offers a terrifying look into the techno-tyranny that Ted warned everyone about, as they are literally selling fake girlfriend services to guys who have otherwise given up on life. It's like how alcohol companies don't care about college students, but actively appeal to hardcore AA meeting alcoholics to keep them in the game because an alcoholic will be buying 20 dollars of booze every day when they can afford it but college students just rent a keg for a party once a week with everyone pitching in a dollar for cheap beer.
This is an industry built on creating addicts, then disavowing responsibility when those addicts are fucked up. No one cares about an alcoholic dying of self-inflicted liver cancer, even if we know alcohol is addictive. South Park literally had an episode about this. I wonder how soon we'll see spoofs of this shit in real world media.
