Creating online means living inside the attention economy, and the costs are real. This panel looks at what it actually does to creators, readers, and reviewers to spend their days in spaces built on opinions, comparison, and the constant churn of being seen. Panelists will talk about burnout, parasocial pressure, the comment-section fallout, and the slow drift between who you are and who the algorithm rewards.
