Keeping People Engaged and Enraged One Manufactured Crisis at a Time

We’re constantly told the basics are on the verge of running out. Scarcity isn’t a fact of nature.  It’s being fabricated by design. 

Enter the era of Fear porn.  Just like limited edition drops in fashion, gaming, or tech, waves of panic are released on a regular schedule. Each drop is engineered to feel rare and urgent, even when the underlying resources continue to grow more abundant through innovation and technology. 

These aren’t random headlines. They’re created for maximum emotional impact. A steady stream of “we’re running out” narratives delivers the perfect cocktail of anxiety and outrage. The more intense the fear, the longer you stay engaged. This is no accident. 

Enraged people means more shares, comments, and algorithmic amplification. Facts don’t drive clicks or build audiences. Manufactured scarcity does. 

Next time a new stream of fear lands in your feed, pause before you react. Ask yourself if this feels real  or is it just the latest edition designed to keep the cycle going.  Oil, coal, gas, food, and water aren’t disappearing.
