'Wypipo' Explained

266. I think you are spot on!

Thanks to instant media, people are "seeing" into each others' worlds more than ever before. I.e., there is increased exposure, not just culturally, but economically as well - the "haves" and the "have nots".

Used to be that to see some of the very wealthy (i.e., those willing to be featured) in a publication, you needed to get a copy of "Town and Country" or "Architectural Digest" or maybe see an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" . Now you can just use a search engine and look at photos and videos of all of the trappings of wealth.

Similarly, the advent of cell phone videos have opened up a whole new world to some, where they can see how black people are continually harassed in public places. And what was continually deemed over and over as "isolated incidents", has become a tsunami of "isolated incidents" that basically establish a pattern. And it is frightening for some to see or believe because it is not something that is relatable.
