Are you nervous that your descendants may be able to see pics and video of you hundreds of years from now?

(Now, this is assuming humanity hasn't been wiped out somehow.)
Chances are none of us know what our great great great grandparents looked like unless they were famous enough to get a portrait painted. But now things are different.
All your crazy antics might still be up on Facebook or YouTube for your great great great great grandkids to see

No I'll be dead and they'll be living through a climate apocalypse so will have bigger things to think about.

I've always thought it would be a fascinating and awe-inspiring experience to be able to look through the annals of history and, via digital fingerprints left behind, get irrefutable evidence that your direct ancestors of ages past were, in fact, blithering idiots.

yeah, you'll never know if one of your ancestors was a respected tailor or the town drunk

Can't have decedents if you don't have kids.

I find it incredibly unlikely that any of my great great great great grandkids would give a single fuck about what I did. I honestly hadn't thought about what my ancestors had done until now and quickly lost interest lol

Forget about your descendants. You know that time you went to that white supremacist rally by mistake back in college, facial recognition software will tag your face in the news and HR managers would be able to link that to your LinkedIn and FB profiles. There is a reason why people wear white hoods to conceal their face. You could probably explain once or twice as a mistake and that you have improved for the better but if your face kept getting flagged in the database, its gonna be hard to dig yourself out of that hole.

I'll be dead and long forgotten. Even if they did discover me, they wouldn't give two shits about me. I'm wholly unremarkable to all but my closest family and friends. My great grandkids likely won't know me or anything about me. Most of us don't get remembered behind two generations...and even if we do, no fucks are given.

I don't make videos, but it's weird to think they will see my facebook page.

I would stalk my great great grandparents if I could.

No but this gives me an idea to take a picture of me mooning the camera and leaving that one photo in a box for them to see.

The idea that one of my (hypothetical) descendants would care about me enough to look me up and learn who I was, long after I'm gone, actually sounds nice

I don't have any videos of me out there and I have maybe 3 photos of myself out there.
But I just don't really care since I'll be super dead.

Read this and tell me again what to be worried about.

Wormholes allowing images and video and pathfinding of individuals and events throughout time, completely undetectable while being accessible by the general public.

No because I'm not planning on having any descendants. Also I'll be dead. And also in the very few pictures of me that are online, I look great.

Nope, i've always considered that in the back of my mind. I learn from other people's mistakes as well as from my own.

No, I find it exciting.

And the fact that everything from this era will be in HD or 4K quality is the best part. Unlike our recent history where old footage and images are poor quality or black and white which makes it really feel like a different time, footage from our time is going to look almost exactly like it does in real life.

It's going to be mindblowing for future people to look back on.

I Just hope both of my kids have children.

I've got some full body nudes out in the wild so I'm more worried about my kids finding them somehow. Don't care if future family sees my junk when I'm dead.

Looking back, and I think my brother's kids will look at me as the creepy uncle who likes to bake confectionaries, and often sees anime. Also, for always speaking to himself.
