> I'm not really sure why what other people you don't know are doing should matter

Doesn't that exactly apply to your critisism of other peoples motives to compete with each other? specifically their desire to compete with other humans for fun, as opposed to humans copy and pasting machine output.

I don't mind at all that people are basing the fun they have doing something on what some other people they don't know are doing. I just don't think it's a good idea (for their own happiness), and share it as we are discussing this topic :)
