Which is an example of the "best or why bother" attitude of exceptionalism the internet can breed, which can affect people in some surprising areas. Even something like grass roots motorsport. Everyone's too busy in their garages trying to build the absolute peak performance car, before even doing a single lap, because they think they can't have fun until their car is as good as all the others on Instagram.
There is so much fun to be had in the space between 0% and 100%, and some don't even get started until they're confident they're already at 95% in the comfort of their own home.

Yes. We're going to have to figure out how to manage this side-effect, because the delight of having the best always at our fingertips isn't going to go away.
