Cancel culture has become one of the most polarizing digital phenomena of the 21st century. On the surface, it appears to be a form of collective accountability. But underneath, it reveals deep psychological motivations, mob dynamics and the monetization of online outrage.
In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we're exploring what really drives people to cancel others on social media, what kind of emotional toll it takes on the individuals who are targeted and how cancel culture is not just a cultural trend – but a business model.
Let's uncover the psychological push factors behind online shaming, the silent trauma of those wh've been cast out and the disturbing truth about the media organizations, brands and content creators that exploit cancellation for profit, influence and power.
If you've ever participated in, been the subject of or witnessed cancel culture unfold online I'm inviting you to share your personal experience with the community and me through the contact form linked in the general podcast description.
