There is a voyeurism here. At risk of entering extreme levels of armchair psychology, it’s the bystander effect at scale.

You are free to Google milk-crate challenge death and see for yourself (how guilty am I for the thing that I condemn). They fall on their necks.

I certainly don’t have the answer, but this can’t be normalized, and sadly I think we are just at the beginning.

Kids abusing the medical system, disrespecting a disease, walking on shaky crates six feet off the ground. It’s hard for me to say it’s kids being kids, or the weak in natural selection being handled. Something is up.

You can also Google "jackass copy cat deaths" for an earlier example of kids getting themselves killed doing obviously dangerous activities
