Are these pedals in need of replacing? Should I get folding pedals?

Sorry about the weird question but a while ago I bought a used Tern D7i. The pedals I'm guessing are not the original as they do not fold. They have some wiggle to them. I'm not an experienced cyclist so I can't tell if it's a normal amount of wear and tear or if I should change them before something happens while riding and could lead to something bad. Couldn't find many videos about it and the ones I found are aimed to a more enthusiastic crowd with pro level gear.

Also, how important is it for a folding bike to have folding pedals. Hasn't been a problem for me so far but I'm wondering if there are specific situations when the pedals should fold. Like is it for the safety or stability of the bike when folded or just to save that much space.

I'm on a tight budget and I'd rather get a stable pedal than cheap out of folding pedals.

Is it me, or has art on social media gone all to video?

Hope this doesn't fall under rule 3 cause I don't intend it to come across as dooming or venting. I want to see if this is a universal phenomenon or is the way the algorithm treats someone who isn't very active, therefore has a more generic algorithmic feed.

So to keep it short. Is the 2d medium turning from art to a spectacle? Is the process becoming more important than the end product? Are short tips and tricks dominating?

This seems to be the case when I view generic algorithmic feed but also how a lot of artist I follow have adjusted their way of posting.

I guess I feel it more on Instagram but I'm curious to hear about your experiences.
