What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ PSYCHOLOGY ][ CREATOR CULTURE ]
A creator's reliance on real-time audience reaction signals (likes, comments, view counts) to determine whether their own work has value, losing the ability to judge quality independently of those signals.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I genuinely don't know if the video is good until I see the first hour of numbers come in."
LORE & ORIGIN
Identified around 2023 as a specific subtype of feed dependency unique to creators, where the dependency isn't just on consuming a feed but on the validating signals their own output generates.
