#3I wasn't aware technology had progressed so far that retail consumers have access to this kind of software for live video. I would be very interested in what kinds of software these people are using.

Good documentary on this comes from 'Peoples Republic of Desire'.
Live-streaming is considerably more mainstream, advanced, and in many cases an actual industry in itself now, outside of the west:

#5Everyone is presenting false versions of themselves, especially the people who present themselves as a true version of themselves.
I'm admittedly quite sadenned by the continued commodification of female appearances in this manner. I am curious if male vlogging has similar tricks to get more $$$.

#6Reminds me of the time a "cute anime girl" streamer had a glitch that exposed him as a fairly typical otaku hikikomori using motion capture software to puppet the character (and presumably some sort of voice synthesizer to provide the dialogue).

Do you have a link? I'm amazed by the fake video generation we have now, I wonder when we'll start seeing it used for spam and (mal)advertising.

#8I want to live in a world where everyone is confident in themselves and doesn't care what others think about superficial details outside of character.
In the far-far future that may never come, I imagine people exist in a virtual continuum and can change all aspects of their appearance such that they never feel slighted by their perceived place in a fitness gradient they cannot change.
Maybe technology is helping us get there. Or maybe it's showing the deep facets of our evolutionary makeup and our learned societal pressures, and we're incapable of doing anything but pay it lip service.
Being human animals kind of sucks, because intellectually we strive for more. But we're tied to these basal frames.

Yes... The screen shot in the article looks a lot more like the 'filter' in use is actually another actress. Though I'd love to be proven wrong.

I want an interview with someone who is willing to donate over a thousand dollars to a person they're watching talk on a webcam.
