Sorry - I've been playing with WebRTC and Trystero (https://trystero.dev/) and added it to my blog as an experiment. Of course didn't expect my blog to become a bit popular on HN and for the cursors to be super annoying. Turned them off by default!
I don't understand why this is a feature and what it brings other than shout "you are being watched by random others".
Exited the site before ending the first block.

Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative. It gets the people going
going... away?
It's a quote from the comedy movie "Blades of Glory"
