I don't recall in the 70's, when we were riding our bikes in the neighborhood, and a car was coming, that we would remain in the middle of the road and stare the driver down. We moved on our own and waived to the driver.

That's the influencer entitlement culture for ya. Behavior is being modeled after what generates clicks and views. Look at ESPN - their "talk shows" have a daily **** measuring contest of who can have the hottest hot take, and when one ridiculous hot take comes to fruition, they peacock all over the place. There's a sheep mentality where everyone follows the herd, while trying to stand out somehow.
Humility is becoming increasingly more difficult to find.
