I remember as a kid I had very limited and slow access to the internet and that's how I started to "hack", I was bored. The full HD Tik Tok videos kid watch endlessly on Tik Tok would have taken me 3 days to load in 144p.
Why would a kid nowadays ROM hack when he can just download another game?
When there are so many games so easily accessible?
Lack of necessity breeds lack of initiative
Easy access to stimulation makes it hard to seek stimulation from being curious/creative
Also, as I said earlier hacker culture is generally a result of at worse hyperactive disorder, or at best just mirrored traits of hyperactivity in a normalfag.
In which case, even hyperactive and pseudo-hyperactive fags eventually grow up and develop a bigger prefrontal cortex which their disabled selves have been terribly lacking in for decades.
Having a bigger prefrontal cortex makes them more conscientious, more worried with public/normalfag perception, more organized, and more willing to actually work in ways they do not inherently find stimulating.
This is when these "hackers" who were once impulsive creative kids suddenly decide that it's time to get a job and become zogbots as exemplified in this thread.
A zogbot makes steady income, is comfortable, is held in high regards by normalfags in his quiet neighborhood
Now, to some extent, I actually lied. Hacker culture is not dead. It's very prevalent in the >>>/diy/ world
And zoomers find necessity hacking in, for example, Roblox.
But also, even scamming/fraud/legal money "plays" is a form of "hacking".
Once again these are typically creative, divergent hyperactive faggots who prefer clever, creative high-variance plays over boring compounding such as getting a stable wageslave position like everyone else and relying entirely on it.
Money will always be a necessity with loopholes to exploit in a capitalist society so this type of "hacking" will always exist... But
