Exploitation is the systematic abuse of power to extract labor, resources, or dignity from vulnerable individuals, often through coercion, deception, or control.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche examines exploitation across entertainment and cultural industries—from nonconsensual use of people's images to power imbalances in music and sex work—treating it as a spiritual and ethical issue rooted in control and disrespect for human autonomy. The show centers voices of survivors and advocates, framing the recognition and resistance of exploitation as part of conscious awakening.

The episode 'Bad Dream Stream' discusses the themes of manipulation, control, and the exploitation of people's fears and vulnerabilities, with host Psyche sharing his thoughts and insights on these topics.

Psyche discusses his experience with someone who used him for their own purposes, then discarded him when he was no longer useful, and now is trying to take down his channel with copyright strikes. He also talks about a 'strike war' and his plans to counter the strikes.
