It feels like for a while there, everywhere you turned there was a Sabrina Carpenter promo playing; on social media, streaming platforms, and even in movie theaters. For someone like her, it makes sense; she’s got a project to promote. But what about the people who keep posting nonstop with no project, no purpose, and nothing of real value to offer? Just an endless loop of meditation selfies (really??), trends, and thirst traps - all chasing a hit of validation.

In this episode, we dig into the hidden cost of attention and how social media turned self-expression into a currency, and why some people are going broke trying to buy relevance. From the dopamine economy to digital burnout, we’ll explore what’s really being traded every time someone posts “just to be seen.”

Because at the end of the day, the question isn’t “How many people are watching?”
It’s “What are you losing just to keep their eyes on you?”
