Technique Fingerprint (from knowledge graph)

Intensity amplification

AI detected as: Sensationalism

Inflating the importance, drama, or shock value of information using superlatives, alarming framing, and emotional language. Once your alarm system activates, you stop evaluating proportionality.

Cultivation theory (Gerbner, 1969); availability heuristic (Tversky & Kahneman, 1973)

Parasocial leveraging

AI detected as: Parasocial Exploitation

Leveraging the one-sided emotional bond you form with creators you watch regularly. Because you feel like you "know" them, their opinions carry the weight of a friend's advice rather than a stranger's. Creators can monetize this by blurring genuine sharing with paid promotion.
