It is difficult for people to relate real experiences they have had in the past to people that were not there. There may be some understanding but you don't see the joy, or the failure on an individuals face, you miss the excitement of the body language. You can get a sense of it through written words but the words only convey so much.
No matter how I describe the utter joy and wonderment of slicing through the water on a salomon ski, behind a speed boat going gods knows how fast, and then cutting to the right hitting the wake and blasting my self airborne. I will never be able to with words or voice tone only ever be able to relate the true feeling of excitement, like I would with a friend watching from the shore or back of the boat.
A lot of shared memories are that way, some people can get a glimmer of the reality if they have ever water skied before on one ski. Yet a person who has never skied before will have a hard time glimpsing the joy, or understanding the excitement.
It is almost like social media and technology are trying to intentionally homogenize people and peoples experiences.
This is how I see it, as then they can cater for everyone without having to develop or have a wide variety of content. Most people will be defined through a few content buckets only.
