It isn’t just you. I see it all the time where I live in Chicago. I think it must be folks in smaller non-led headlight cars trying to “keep up” with the natural brightness increase of regular cars. I really don’t understand, its selfish and dangerous in my opinion.

My tinfoil hat theory, is that since all traffic enforcement seems to be lower since the pandemic, there’s nobody getting pulled over and told to knock it off.

Separate but related issue I also regularly see it at night on road trips throughout the Midwest. Ten years ago, just about everyone would flip their high beams down when approaching traffic in the other direction, now its almost none.
