IMO, it's just more / another form of blame shifting.
"Look at how energy-wasteful sharing memes is, but don't look at the massive waste of power for all these useless chatbots" is just a rehashed "Shame on you for using a plastic straw".
Let's call a spade a spade: "blame shifting" isn't precise enough. It's victim shaming in the form of consumer blame packaged in a virtue signaling wrapper. Just like the entire recycling concept, DARE, etc al. Fuck all of this bullshit that tries to point fingers at us plebs. The only "Heroes Work Here" signs should be on top of guillotines.
Engaging in a shared culture is killing the planet please just wake up, go to work, and go to sleep
