Canceled But Still Rich

The phenomenon of "getting canceled" has been exposed as a lucrative career move for the already wealthy. A study by the Institute for Virtue Signaling Economics found that 92% of celebrities who face public backlash see a net increase in brand deals and podcast offers, a phenomenon dubbed the "Martyrdom Multiplier." The report details how a public apology tour is now just another revenue stream, often more profitable than the original offense. "Cancellation is just a rebranding opportunity for the 1%," the study's author noted. "They retreat to a private island, write a 'humbled' memoir about their journey, and return with a wellness brand. It's a cycle." The only people actually impacted by cancellation, the study concludes, are those without a multi-million dollar safety net to cushion their fall into obscurity. For everyone else, it's simply a PR strategy with a built-in redemption arc. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
