they said “trust the system”

so we logged in

smiled

and watched it burn

a quiet update

in the dead of night

no warning

no voice

just silence and loss

overnight erase

years of blood and time

songs gone cold

buried without a line

no notice

no apology

just a brighter button begging me to bleed

they tell us “adapt”

they tell us “perform”

make it shorter

make it sweeter

make it sell or be ignored

they don’t want the strange

they don’t want the real

they want repeatable dopamine

wrapped in a deal

this is the site

where trust goes to die

smile for the feed

while they sharpen the knife

this is the site

where voices decay

pay to be seen

or quietly fade

mods swing hammers in the dark

comments vanish

questions rot

say the wrong thing

timeout

a week in the box

block. ban. mute.

call it “order”

call it “clean”

funny how truth gets messy

when money’s in the stream

hundred credits

per mistake

burn them fast

for the chance to stay

hooks or nothing

feed the machine

creativity trimmed

till it fits the screen

this is the site

hear the cracks inside

no pr voice

just static replies

this is the site

watch the curtain fall

sweep it under

deny it all

you don’t listen

you monetize

you hide the truth

behind upgrades and lies

trust is bleeding

users see

you can’t bury smoke

when the fire’s this loud

this is the site

we built this place

not your metrics

not your race

this is the site

and we remember

every quiet change

every lost ember

you can mute the chat

you can hide the signs

but you can’t delete

what we know this time
