Applause for Sale™

“Prestige without integrity is just PR.” Roast-playbook satire dismantling awards culture through receipts.

Applause for Sale™ is a biting satirical essay packaged as a strategic white paper on the economics of attention, treating applause as a tradable commodity. Structured like an investment pitch for clout, it includes supply/demand charts, social ROI models, and absurd case studies skewering the hustle economy where validation is the new currency. This manifesto-meets-business satire targets skeptical Gen Z and millennials by reframing awards as receipts via a disruptive "Live Receipt Engine." This audience-sourced IP is highly relevant and positioned for festival buzz, media deals, and viral social content.
