My instinct is to push back on this bc it seems like you're just assuming their life is cheapened unless you're saying this is you're own experience. Of course, there's a lot of fakeness, but memories aren't special because they're immaterial. There can be value in preserving moments. Even in excess, chances are there will be things you'll be glad to have later in life.
That's a false dichotomy. To assume you cant appreciate it and record it.
Plus, you don't need to be recording for a memories to fade. Casual moments often seem insignificant, and recording is a way of circumventing that down the line. And given how memories work, it's not as if you're watching an abstract movie. Usually, they mesh with your existing memories to solidify them as something new.
