Failed person-to-corporation conversion drives resentment and hopeless cancel-culture rage

Evidence

This conflation will continue and will increase the frustration of those unable to convert oneself into a corporation, who are unable to transcend the boundaries of one’s body, distributing the self into a range of concealed contractual and economic relations. In the face of increasingly visible corporate personhood and personal corporate-hood, online mobs will continue to lash out, cancelling precarious individuals like Naomi Davis while expressing baffled futility when those such as Kardashian (or Jeffree Star or MrBeast) seem immune to critique. — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 373
