cancel culture 

i feel like there's two different things we talk about both as "cancel culture"

there's the thing where we critically examine the actions and beliefs of people with enormous amounts of influence and hold them accountable

and there's the thing where we use the same mechanisms to destroy the lives of small, often queer, creators for making mistakes or for making problematic content

we play a dangerous game by conflating the two

also, that new-ish feature on youtube where if there's timestamps in the description of a video, they're used to divide the playback bar into labelled segments

it still works on videos that just happened to have timestamps in the past

which demonstrates once more to me that Plain Text is the ultimate backwards-compatible format
