The skinwalker stories are also stupid as shit, I'm not pretending their real. But shit like  reads like old creepypastas about chain emails where you actually die if you don't forward it. It's just people being afraid of tech for no real reason

We have normalized technology to the extent that it's not alien anymore. We forget that there is something very odd about getting messages from someone across the country or the planet in under a second when they aren't bodily there. I think a lot of the old stories were based on that spookiness of not knowing what's on the other side of the line, or who made the original chain mail. Nowadays we have gotten used to the fact that there are real threats on the web. Scammers, child groomers, and government's tracking. Maybe someday we will snicker at sci-fi about AI controlling us

The difference is that groomers don't just call you and then you go insane. It's the typr of thing someone who doesn't fully understand/trust phones would come up with. It's like like people being afraid of microwave ovens. That said, reading this shit is still entertaining, and that's the point of these threads, not to seriously discuss the paranormal
