I'd guess that most people with public social media accounts would be susceptible to something like this. As long as there are videos available with the person speaking, which are plentiful by way of instagram reels / tiktoks, the rest of what the commenter described above sounds totally feasible.

Yeah same. As a rule, I try to never put anything in my checked luggage that is irreplaceable (if it gets lost completely), or that I would need immediately if it arrives late (medication, etc).
I have also had cases where the TSA has gone through my bags and shattered the fragile items in there because they couldn't be bothered to repack it gently. So yeah, no precious or time-sensitive items in my checked bags unless absolutely necessary.
Cool! I think GM had (has?) something similar, which is great.
I'm personally holding off until I can get a V2H charger, but if I didn't have charging at work as an option, I'd jump on this.
Similarly, I've been trying to purchase less on Amazon, but the brick and mortar stores around me are also giants (namely Walmart). I haven't been doing a good job of it, but I feel like part of the process of getting away from Amazon is also accepting some inconvenience and seeking things out from local shops.
Things though like detergent, toilet paper, etc, I really don't know who sells them other than big box stores.
Totally agree, but I feel like the problem was the booking system, not the taxi.
I was traveling recently, and Uber had partnered with a local taxi company to handle ride requests. It was awesome. You get the convenience and speed of calling an Uber, but the vehicles and drivers are all regulated and paid by the taxi company. No questionable gig economy work, no wondering if the driver is getting paid fairly, no concerns over shady drivers, no ill-kept vehicles.
