In the Psycheverse

Psyche examines how rhetoric operates as a tool for power within digital communities and livestream culture, particularly how allegations are constructed and spread through selective framing rather than evidence. He treats persuasion not as neutral communication but as a structural force that shapes what communities believe about their own narratives and members, making it central to understanding panelverse dynamics and the mechanics of drama.
