There's some survivor bias. But like a virus, the next strain will be stronger and more potent from those survivors.
Very few people in 2004 could pull off the Paris. It's a lot easier in 2024.

Well who cares about looking like a clown, considering there’s millions of them on LinkedIn and TikTok. Shame is diluted every day and no one cares

A lot of people, almost instinctively, and for good reason.
Playing devil’s advocate, but “clown” is subjective and relative, which means the most serious people are sometimes clowns unbeknownst to them lol
