In real life, the rise of content farms, exploitative game shows, and streaming platforms has blurred the line between entertainment and exploitation. Consider:
Contestants on reality shows who are pushed to their emotional and physical limits for ratings.
Viral videos of individuals in vulnerable situations that are shared without their consent.
The VIPs in Squid Game remind us that, as viewers, we too can become complicit in the suffering of others when entertainment takes precedence over empathy.
