Datafication Of Distress: Unmasking The Digital Exploitation Of Human Suffering For Visibility
In the age of algorithms, every human emotion, tragedy, and crisis is being quantified, tracked, and shared—often not to inspire empathy, but to drive engagement. This unsettling trend, known as the datafication of distress, refers to the transformation of human suffering into data points, content, and analytics.

“The Silence Room”: A Man Who Gave Up Everything to Finally Hear Himself
Liam Everhart lived the life everyone said they wanted—until he realized it wasn’t the life he needed. For 20 years, Liam worked as a senior brand strategist in Manhattan.

To survive and thrive, they must perform vulnerability – sharing deeply personal stories – knowing it simultaneously makes them targets for disproportionate harassment, doxxing, and emotional exhaustion. This is the cruel paradox of the digital age for marginalized voices.
