Engagement culture and hierarchy are siblings. They both train people to: look upward seek validation measure worth externally wait for permission perform for approval Hierarchy says: Your value is determined by rank. Engagement systems say: Your value is determined by response. Same architecture. Different costume.

Engagement is digital hierarchy Likes, followers, reach, views, ratios — these become status markers. Not truth markers. Not value markers. Not wisdom markers. Status markers. Which recreates: class structures influence ladders elite visibility social stratification Only now it’s algorithmic instead of institutional. So people begin to think: If I’m not being seen, I must not matter. That’s hierarchy logic embedded into psychology.
