Themselves, the creators, the distributors, all their spouses, children, parents, family, friends, neighbors, employers, etc. No sin is personal, it affects everyone.
If sin is shared, then we are all cast upon gehenna. We must make a personal choice to follow Him and be saved. That means sin is not spread like a contagion, but is preserved each on our own souls.
This is why the Lord reserves vengeance and spiritual judgement for Himself.
We burn people to death under guise of our righteousness. We Hatfield and McCoy. He wants us to have a (lot of) chance to find Him.
Because imagine it the other way. A parent permanently stains their teen because he stole, even if the teen didn't know. Now the Lord is going to reject that teen and cast him out? You bought a shirt from China, and now you are cast out?
And that's just a brief consideration of mundane sins before we get to the world's "worse level" of sins.
You can find this supported over and over in His word, save for idolatry when Moses descended the mount. Ezekiel 18, Jeremiah 31, Deut 24, Matt 16, and John 5, amongst others.
Luke 12 even deals with ignorance directly - not knowing gets you lesser punishment.
No one stated or inferred that sin is shared - that's ludicrous. But to think that one's sin or lack of morals does not affect those around him, well that's also ludicrous.
You said that thing you now mock as ludicrous. "No sin is personal, it affects everyone."
You dont get to now pretend you ackkkkkktually meant that there's a magic splash on effect that doesn't imply a sharing. Intent and understanding are central to sin.

Your sin is not my sin, we do not SHARE sin. But your sin can certainly AFFECT me.
