When I was younger I heard about "bug chasers" and thought it was complete insanity but at this point all these TiA topics seem to be forming a closed loop where they are essentially all variations of the same person. Problem is the loop is more like a saw and is damaging everything it touches.

It is complete insanity. Turns out though some people are insane and dismissing concerns about it because "no sane person would ever do that" is kinda a stupid argument.

I should have thought the internet would have alerted most young people by this point that, of there's some insane stupid idea, there's someone somewhere who legit thinks it's a good idea. Like sounding (the sex thing, don't look it up if you don't know what it is, unless you are a medical professional and used to this shit).

Unfortunately, rather than being warned, they seem to take the knowledge as suggestions of things that they can do/follow/believe in to be one of the cool kids.

And it is my great misfortune that I know exactly what sounding is. Serious moment here folks, but when someone warns you not to look something up? Yeah, don't take that as a challenge and go looking anyway. Because sometimes you wind up learning things you would have happily done without. (I'm the dumbass that would have ended up as a pillar of salt...)
