OPEN PANELS & INTERNET CULTURE

The panelverse, trolls, drama, and live unscripted chaos.

Open Panels & Internet Culture

Cult of Psyche is a flagship of the 'panelverse' — the subgenre of YouTube built on multi-person, open-panel livestreams where anyone can join the conversation in real time. It's chaotic by design, and that chaos is the content.

This archive documents the culture that grows in that format: troll taxonomies and the Troll Tribunal, moderation wars and rogue mods, raids and porn bombs, feuds that escalate into sagas, and the strange parasocial bonds that form in a live chat. It's a field guide to an entire corner of internet civilization.

The transmissions below capture the panelverse as it actually happens — unscripted, unfiltered, and impossible to look away from.
