My research is related to how K-pop fans relate to digital fandom spaces. Right now, I'm moving towards Digital and Technology Policies, because I strongly believe there's a sizeable fandom burnout coming caused by the insane levels of devotion and emotion harnessing that became standard in the industry, _especially_ concerning the fan-specific platforms. Policies is likely the field where all of this might hopefully be handled or at least regulated. There are questionable devices to help protect innocent people from religious charlatans but there are allegedly strong customer protection rules that should, ou could, be doing something about this... At the end of the day, besides the multiple worst-case scenarios we can probably conceive about fatigued, apostate fans, there's simply the fact that countless careers won't stand the test of time without steady support.
God tier stuff here.
